After an open to 16,000 by Kalyan Lakkavarapukota, Drake Kemper moved all in for around 70,000 from the small blind. 

After a brief pause, Lakkavarapukota made the call to put him at risk and the cards were on their backs. 

Kemper: 7♦7♥
Lakkavarapukota: A♥Q♦

Kemper would need to hold with is sevens, and this was made much easier on the 7♣Q♣8♦ flop as he made bottom set. The runout of 10♠3♣ was also good for him to scoop the pot for a double. 

Kemper - 155,000
Lakkavarapukota - 60,000
