"I Can't Believe You Have a Hand to Call There"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a few players had limped for 300, "Wild Bill" Romer did the same from the button. The player in the small blind then announced an all-in raise to 4,175, and action folded back to Romer. The MSPT veteran thought for a moment before making the call, and it didn't sit well with his opponent.

"I can't believe you have a hand to call there," the small blind said.

"I have a drawing hand," Romer admitted.

Small Blind: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Romer: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

As it turned out, Romer had much more than a drawing hand — he had the best hand. The {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop gave both players a pair of queens, but of course Romer's kicker had him well out in front. The {J-Diamonds} turn put out some chop options, but the {2-Diamonds} blanked on the river and Romer scored the elimination and the pot.
