Hand #51

Blinds 75k/150k/150k

Steve Hwang open-shoved from the BTN for 1.025m with 7♥7♠ and then Tanner Smith looked down at K♦K♠ in the SB and reshoved for 2.25m... This produced a quick fold from Pierre Bousquet in the BB and the two hands were tabled. 

Hwang needed a lot of help to stay alive with his sevens, but the flop came out K♣8♠9♥ to give Smith top set of kings. The runout of A♣5♦ changed nothing and the pot was shipped to Smith while Hwang exited in 7th place. 

Hwang - 0
Smith - 3.65m
