Teusl's Lucky Seven Saves the Day

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jessica Teusl had been short-stacked for a long time before she finally shoved her last 5,400 from the small blind, getting a call from Tudor Zapsa in the big blind.
At showdown, Zapsa revealed A?9?. Teusl, seeing the ace, remarked, "Of course you have an ace. Dealer, please give me a seven," as she turned over Q?7?.
The dealer spread the flop and turn: K?6?K?2?. Teusl quickly switched tactics, now asking for a queen. But instead, the 7? appeared on the river, giving her the much-needed double-up and keeping her in the game.
