Samaha Makes Correct Hero Call with Pair of Sevens

Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was roughly 45,000 in the middle on a board and Afshin Afsharorumieh, from the hijack, put out a bet of 16,000 and placed his chips directly in front of Bernard Samaha, who sat directly to his left.
Samaha was not amused, replying: "I don't believe you have the king." After about 20 seconds, Samaha begrudgingly tossed in a call.
Afsharorumieh could only produce for a missed straight draw while Samaha turned over
for third pair and took down the huge pot.
