Liffey Rivers the Jackpot

Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Rory Liffey shoved for 2,325,000 from under the gun with Kevin Killeen making the call to try and bust him from the big blind.
Rory Liffey: A♥7♣
Kevin Killeen: J♠J♥
Liffey had run into the pocket jacks of Killeen and would need a miracle to not be out in sixth.
The 5♥8♣7♦ flop did give Liffey a pair of sevens. The 9♣ hit the turn before the 7♥ river gave Liffey trip sevens, and he doubled up.
