Blair Escapes the Trap from Mackey

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

James Mackey opened to 28,000 from under the gun and Eric Blair three-bet to 101,000 in the cutoff. Mackey called to see a flop of {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} hit the felt. Mackey checked to Blair who continued for 120,000 and Mackey just called.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {5-Hearts} on the river. Mackey checked for the third time and Blair quickly checked behind. Mackey turned over {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a set of sevens and Blair sent his cards to the muck.
