Hand 107 - Bryant King has the button in seat 6, Mohajeri moves all in for $63,000 from the small blind, and Negreanu calls with Ks-2c. Mohajeri shows Qc-7c, and he'll need to improve to stay alive. (Bryant King says he folded Q-2, stealing an out from each of them.)

The flop comes As-Ah-Jh, and Negreanu is still in the lead. The turn card is the 2d, giving Negreanu a pair. Mohajeri still needs a queen or a seven to stay alive. The river card is -- the 7s! Kia Mohajeri makes a pair of sevens on the river to stay alive and double up.
