Christopher Chung Finds a Seven to Double Up

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Mark Bassaly raised in middle position, Christopher Chung three-bet on the button, Bassaly four-bet, and Chung capped it. Bassaly called.

The flop was {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Bassaly bet, which was enough to put Chung all in. Chung called and they showed down.

Bassaly: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Chung: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Chung was in bad shape with sevens against Bassaly's nines, but as he stood up, ready to make his exit, the {7-Diamonds} came on the turn, giving Chung sevens full of fives. The {K-Diamonds} river was insignificant.

"What!? That doesn't happen in tournaments!" Chung exclaimed after the hand.
