Hands #86-90: Douglas Trips the River to Stay Alive
Level 36
: 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante
Hand #86: Sung Joo Hyun raised to 1.08 million under the gun and took the pot when his opponents folded.
Hand #87: Richard Douglas moved all in for 2,265,000 on the button and Guoliang Wei re-shoved from the small blind. Hyun folded his big blind and Douglas was at risk.
Douglas: 
Wei: 
The 
flop gave both players a pair, Wei's best. The 
turn changed nothing but the 
on the river gave Douglas trip sevens to double through and stay alive.
Hand #88: Chris Staats got a walk.
Hand #89: Francois Tosques got a walk.
Hand #90: Hyun raised to 600,000 from the cutoff and Tosques moved all in. The big blind folded and so did Hyun, and Tosques took another pot, prompting French chants on the rail.
