Steely Resolve

The last hand before break:

James Mordue opened with an under-the-gun raise to 16,000, and Jose Santos announced a re-raise to 80,000. Action came to Chase Steely in the big blind, and he moved all in for 228,000 total. Mordue quickly ducked out, but Santos instantly called with the covering stack.

Showdown
Santos: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Steely: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Steely stood from his chair, clearly nervous for his survival as he mumbled something about how good Santos has been running. Not to worry for Steely though as he would survive on a board reading {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. With everyone already out of the room on break, Steely let out a quiet celebration as he pulled in those double up chips to move up close to a half-million in chips.
