Akenhead Spikes a Seven on the River to Survive

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 300 and James Akenhead moved all in for 4,000. It folded back to the UTG player who called and the hands were shown.

James Akenhead: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The dealer fanned the {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop and Akenhead's opponent paired his queen in the window to take control of the hand. The turn {5-Diamonds} was no help to Akenhead, but the {7-Clubs} that completed the board was.

Akenhead spiked his lucky seven on the river, improving to a full house to survive and earned the double-up.
