Villareal Dealt Cruel Blow

Eddie Villareal has been crippled in very cruel fashion. All the money was in on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs} with Villareal looking in great shape to eliminate Stephen Carpenter.

Villareal held {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a set of sevens to hold the lead over Carpenter's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. However, remarkably the board brought a {J-Diamonds} on the turn and another {J-Spades} on the river to give Carpenter jacks full of kings, and the best hand against Villareal's jacks full of sevens.

After the hand Villareal is left with 10,000 while Carpenter survives to jump to 60,000.
