Seven is a Monster

[user66118]

Venkatesh Gupta opened to 6,000 from the cutoff seat, and Dustin Johns made the call from the button. In the big blind, Vittario Iemolo moved all in for 9,800 total. That raised a question from Gupta about whether or not the betting was re-opened for a reraise. The floor was called over to make the ruling that the reraise was 200 chips too light to constitute a full raise, so Gupta would only have the options to call or fold.

"Can I reraise?" Johns asked, drawing a quick chuckle from the table. He called the remaining 3,800 after Gupta did, and it was three ways to the flop with Iemolo at risk.

The board ran out {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} with the two live players checking it down the whole way. Gupta turned up {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades} , and Johns shook his head to indicate that his hand was inferior.

"Can't beat that?!" Iemolo asked, surprised. "Seven is a monster!" With that, he flipped his {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} , good enough to take down the full pot and triple him up over 30,000.
