Stanford Sends a Player On Vacation

Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt raised to 7,000 from late position. Luke Stanford, who has been quietly chipping up at the "table of death", reraised to 18,000 from the button. The small blind folded, but the big blind called off his remaining 9,300 and was all-in. After tanking for a minute, Putt folded.

Stanford held pocket sevens, {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}, and had his opponent's {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} dominated. "I'd rather be up against two nines," mentioned the big blind.

The board ran out {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and Stanford's sevens were good to the end. He is now up to 80,000 chips and quietly climbing the leaderboard.
