Is That Lady Okay?

From the middle of the Blue section, Barbara Martinez was heard having a shrieking crisis of some sort. We heard the commotion before we saw it, so we hustled over to see what drew the blood-curdling scream.

Martinez had gotten her chips in with {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} against Gregory Chochon's {7-} {7-} in a blind-versus-blind debacle. The {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} flop was not at all good news for Martinez's overcards, as the set of sevens had her drawing dead to two runners.

The turn {J-Clubs} was the first runner, and the {Q-Spades} river was the cause for the shrill scream. Martinez has loudly doubled up to 163,000 in the luckiest of ways, and Chochon had to endure that celebration as he stared down at his little lonely stack of just 15,000 remaining chips.
