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.
