Al-Keliddar Tries to Set the Trap

Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Karle limped in the cutoff, Yaser Al-Keliddar completed in the small blind, and Michael Lavin checked in the big blind.
The flop came 3♠J♠7♣, Al-Keliddar led out for 12,000, Lavin called, as did Karle.
The 8♦ turn checked through, as did the 5♦ river. Karle announced "seven," indicating a pair of sevens.
Al-Keliddar turned over 10♦9♥ for the nut straight, and the pot was pushed his way.
