Joseph Brumpacheco Eliminated in 7th Place ($62,687)
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
John Henry Gordon opened to 500,000 with Q?J? and then Joseph Brumpacheco three-bet with 7?7? to 2,600,000- leaving 225,000 behind. The action folded back to Gordon who just called after some considerable thought.
On the flop of 4?10?A?, Brumpacheco put the last of his chips into the middle and Gordon called to put him at risk.
Brumpacheco was still in the lead with his sevens, but the turn K? was brutal as it gave Gordon the nut straight to lock up the hand. The river was the irrelevant 6? and Gordon was awarded the pot, while Brumpacheco was eliminated in seventh place as the first casualty at the final table.
