Russell Hits the Jackpot to Send Andress Home
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Charles Russell opened the cutoff to 80,000 and John Andress shoved his stack of around 650,000 into the middle from the button. Once the blinds folded, Russell called.
John Andress: K♦K♣ 
Charles Russell: 7♦7♣
Andress was in good shape to double up but his hopes were dashed when the flop of 5♠J♣7♠ improved Russell to a set. A J♠ landed on the turn which, despite giving Russell a full house, did bring some more outs for Andress as now any king or jack would see him survive. Unfortunately for Andress, a 10♠ fell on the river which meant he was eliminated.
