Scott Spikes A Straight With Pocket Sevens

Level 7

Hold'em:

While making our rounds through the tournament area, we noticed a huge mountain of chips sitting in the middle of one table for a pot that was unusually large at this stage in the event. We counted approximately 3600 chips which were up for grabs, and three players were slugging it out to claim the bounty.

With the final board reading {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Dan Scott led out with a bet of 800 chips from the big blind. A player called from under-the-gun and, after a minute or so of deliberation, a player in middle position decided to look Scott up as well.

Scott flipped up his {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a runner-runner straight and both opponents mucked their cards. Scott dragged the pot of 6,000 or so chips his way and is now sitting an above average stack.
