T.J. Cloutier is all in preflop with pocket sevens, but he is in serious trouble when he is called by two players -- one with A-Q, the other with pocket nines. The flop comes K 8 7, and everyone rechecks their cards -- but nobody has any clubs. Cloutier's set of sevens is in the lead, but the turn card is the 6, putting a flush draw on the board (which would make it a three-way chopped pot), and giving the player with pocket nines an open-ended straight draw. Cloutier had to dodge a lot of outs to win the hand -- and the last card was an offsuit 2.


T.J. Cloutier had just been knocked down to about $15,000 a few minutes before, but he has now tripled back up to about $50,000 in chips.
