Joseph Brumpacheco Eliminated in 7th Place ($62,687)
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
John Henry Gordon opened to 500,000 with Q♣J♣ and then Joseph Brumpacheco three-bet with 7♥7♦ to 2,600,000- leaving 225,000 behind. The action folded back to Gordon who just called after some considerable thought.
On the flop of 4♠10♦A♠, Brumpacheco put the last of his chips into the middle and Gordon called to put him at risk.
Brumpacheco was still in the lead with his sevens, but the turn K♥ was brutal as it gave Gordon the nut straight to lock up the hand. The river was the irrelevant 6♦ and Gordon was awarded the pot, while Brumpacheco was eliminated in seventh place as the first casualty at the final table.
