Daniyal Gheba raised it up in early position and Colin Robinson three-bet to 80,000, leaving himself with just 3,000 behind. The action folded back to Gheba who just called. The flop came 8♠7♣2♥ and the two players got the last of their chips in the middle.

Colin Robinson: 10♣10♦All in
Daniyal Gheba: 7♥7♦

Robinson crinkled his cup of water in his hand and threw it on the floor, splashing a staff member, after seeing that his opponent flopped a set of sevens. The 3♦ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river did not help Robinson who left the tournament area in frustration.
