Payan the Punisher Gets Paid Off

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We caught the action with the flop reading {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Elie "Punisher934" Payan facing an all-in bet of 10,000 by a player in the big blind. After the button made the call, Payan came along as well and we were off to the turn, which fell {9-Clubs}.

Payan and the button checked and the river came {4-Spades}, prompting the players to check it down once again in order to eliminate their vulnerable opponent.

The all-in player tabled just his {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} while leaving his other cards face down, which was good for a flopped top set of sevens. Unfortunately for him, Payan revealed the {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts} for a flopped straight and dragged the 35,000+ pot his way.
