"You called with 7-4??"

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Stefan Martin is up to around 45k after a big hand with {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

While we didn't catch the pre-flop action, we did see the big pot as it developed on a flop of {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Martin checked the flop from the small blind, then a player in late position went all-in for his remaining 5k. The player on the button called the all-in bet but then faced a check-raise to 13k from Martin.

The player on the button didn��t seem surprised yelling, ��Well.. we all knew he was going to do that�� Jeez.��

After about a minute, the player on the button decided not to call the additional 8k and the cards were flipped.

The player all-in showed {A-}{K-} for top pair but was dominated by Martin��s three of a kind with {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The turn and river came {7d }and {J-Diamonds} to give Martin a full house and seal the knockout.

The player on the button then yelled at Martin, ��You called a pre-flop raise with 7-4?? What the hell is the matter with you?��

Martin didn��t seemed phased at all responding, ��7 to win 33,�� hinting at his good odds before the flop.

Martin is up around 45k and a commanding chip leader at his table.
