Posted this on your blog already but..

I 3-bet the flop to ~4k. I think I would've heard from JJ preflop. Probably has AJs or 22 is what I'd put him on.

4 limpers before you how are you going to protect 7's? By betting big? Short of AA there is nothing to protect this early.

Like I said, I blow at tournaments but this is how I would play it.

With 4 limpers, you don't know what the hell they are limping with. Pocket 7's are a good starting hand, but really only hold value if you hit your set. Very rarely will 7's hold up to win unimproved.

A raise would push the limpers to decide if their hands are good enough to play to a raise. It also leaves you open to fold to a reraise thinking one of them limpers was slowplaying a monster.

Once he flopped the set, it was just too hard to get away from. A raise preflop might have got the T9o to fold. Hindsight is 20/20 though...

I guess you can look at the bright side. You weren't on the bubble!

I think a big re-raise after the flop was your best option.

I would guess that the butterflies weren't even gone yet at this point.

Good luck!

ya, if it makes you feel any better I would have NOT 3-betted the flop. Hell, I want him to feed me his chips on the turn and river when he doesn't know what I have. Granted, this maybe FPS - but it waht I (ashamedly) would have done.

Tough luck- get 'em next year!

I call the flop CR and try to get all-in on a non-flush turn...oh, you did...

I say well played. Unlucky.
