Sevens Are Good for Hugh
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ryan Hugh opened to 2,500 from early position and got a call from Gerald Eisele in middle position and Anthony Healy from the small blind.
The flop came 2?8?5?, and Hugh fired a bet of 6,000 after Healy checked. Eisele made the call, and Healy folded his hand.
When the dealer put out the 8? on the turn, Hugh moved all in for 9,000, and Eisele made the call after getting the count.
Ryan Hugh: 7?7? 
Gerald Eisele: 7?6?
Hugh had to dodge the open-ended straight draw of Eisele, and he managed to do it with the J? on the river, securing him the double up.
