Troy Gabaldon had his short stack of around 250,000 in the middle from under the gun and both Josh Reichard in the cutoff & Edward Chang on the button had their stacks in, with Chang having 430,000 more than Gabaldon.
Troy Gabaldon: 5♥3♥ 
Edward Chang: 7♣7♥
Josh Reichard: A♦J♠
Reichard had a chance to pick up two bounties but the pocket sevens of Chang held strong through the Q♠2♣2♥ flop. An 8♠ on the turn left Gabaldon drawing dead, and the 4♠ river locked up the pot for Chang, who took both the main and side pots.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 27th episode, Connor talks with World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and venture capitalist David Daneshgar, who used poker winnings to launch a successful start-up that raised tens of millions. The Californian with $2.5 million in Hendon Mob earnings talks about his companies BloomNation and Whippy AI, teaching a college poker class, quitting his finance job to play poker, and getting Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss to write his letter of recommendation to business school.
Daneshgar also spoke about getting cheated in private LA games, AI in poker, and why entrepreneurs should play in poker games.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with David Daneshgar by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
