in large scale poker tournaments (World Poker Tour, World Series of Poker) the final
table is made up of six players. thus, the "bubble place", i.e. missing the final
table, is seventh. usually the final table in these tournament events is televised, so besides missing the prize money jump, the
player also misses being on televisions (and the endorsements that come with it.)
Joe Sebok, son of poker legend Barry Greenstein, has had two WPT 7th place finishes; his friend, poker pro
Gavin Smith, gave him the nickname "Seventhbok" for this feat.

i was playing great and had a good
loose-aggressive image. i picked up aces on the button and raised; the big blind called and we got it all-in on the
flop. i was a big dog to his flopped
set and end up going out Seventhbok.
