Kanaan Wins with Seven High to Eliminate Foe
Action folded to Michael Kanaan in middle position and he put in a raise to 450. The next player to act, who was in the hijack, then shoved all in for 3,075. Action folded back around to Kanaan and he made a hesitant call and added, "Alright, I'll gamble."
Showdown
Kanaan: 
Hijakc: 
Much to Kanaan's surprise, he was a dominating favorite. The 
flop lead the hijack to say, "I'll take a jack," referring to the possibility of a chop if a jack hit along with a card higher than a seven. Unfortunately for him, the 
turn was not it. While the 
river was, Kanaan's seven played as kicker to take down the pot and eliminated the hijack.
Kanaan is off to a quick start and is up to 40,000.
