Lucky Seven for Sion; Tighe Gone

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

We happened upon the action with approximately 13,000 in the pot and a board reading {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The UK's Elior Benjamin Sion was first to act and promptly bet 11,000, which prompted his fellow countryman Alex Christoper Lindop to shove all in from the button. Sion shrugged before calling off his what little he had behind and the cards were tabled.

Lindrop: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Sion: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Sion had turned a pair of sevens, but it was well behind the pocket cowboys of Lindrop. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {7-Clubs}! Sion hit trips to extend his tournament life while Lindrop could only shake his head in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Daniel Tighe has been eliminated in unknown action over at Table 8.
