"It's my Birthday, I'm Running Good!"

The action was picked up on a 7♦10♦J♣ flop and after significant action, all of the chips made their way into the middle. There was a player all in and at risk and Areeb Sheikh, who had him covered. When the cards hit their backs, Sheikh saw that he was in bad shape.

At risk player: J♠10♣
Areeb Sheikh: Q♣J♦

The 9♥ landed on the turn. Skeikh was drawing to an open-ended straight draw or one of the three queens left in the deck.

Before the at-risk player could start counting his winnings, the dealer burned and turned the Q♥ on the river, giving Sheikh a better two pair than his opponent and earning him the knockout.

"It's my birthday, I'm running good!" said Skeikh who turned 24 years old today and will hope to keep the run-good going deep into the night.
