Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Lawrence Brandt had just lost about half his stack when his rivered two pair were no good against the flopped set of sevens for Wesley Hammond, and a few hands later, he was all in under the gun.

Action folded to David Baker in the small blind, and he made the call with the best hand in Hold’em, [Ah][Ad]. Brandt needed a lot of help with [7h][7d], but he wouldn’t get any on the run out of [10c][6d][2c][5h][5c].

With that, eight players remain.
