Skimbo Doubles in Massive Pot
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing J♣7♦7♠ with roughly 9,000 already in the middle. After the flop Michael Skimbo was all in for 139,000, and Jeff Sowell putting him at risk.
Michael Skimbo: A♣7♣ 
Jeff Sowell: Q♠J♠
Skimbo flopped trips and was in a great position to take a massive pot. Needing a jack to improve past the trip sevens of Skimbo, the 4♣ on the turn, and A♥ on the river gave Skimbo a full house sevens full of aces to double up and leave Sowell on fumes.
