Aces-Up Enough for E-Tay

Level 3

Seven Card Stud

Esther Taylor: XxXx / 71072 / Xx
Brian Rast: XxXx / Q87J - folded on sixth street
Matthew Beinner: XxXx / A6KJ - folded on sixth street
Alexander Kostritsyn: XxXx / 3243 / Xx
Daniel Negreanu: XxXx / 96 - folded on fourth street

Action picked up on fourth in a five-way limped pot as Beinner and Kostritsyn checked to Negreanu who bet. Everybody called until it got back to Kostritsyn, and he raised, which forced out Negreanu but the other three called.

Fifth street checked through before it folded to Kostritsyn again on sixth. He bet, Taylor raised, which forced out Rast and Beinner, while Kostritsyn called.

Seventh street checked through as Taylor revealed AAXx in the hole, and her two pair, aces and sevens, were the winner as last year's third place finisher dragged a pot.
