Panagiotis Nifakos (pictured) raises under the gun to 115,000, Bruce Kramer calls from the button, and Brian Altman calls from the big blind.
All three players check to the turn on a board of J7
7
Q
, and Altman bets 200,000. Nifakos moves all in for 970,000, Kramer folds, and Altman calls with 7
2
for trip sevens. Nifakos turns over A
Q
for two pair, queens and sevens, with an ace-high flush draw, and he needs a queen or a heart on the river to stay alive.
The river card is the 8, and Altman wins the pot with his trip sevens to eliminate Nifakos from the tournament.
Brian Altman – 7,600,000 (190 bb)
Panagiotis Nifakos – Eliminated in 15th Place ($27,934)
