Throwing His Weight Around

With 130,000 in the pot already and the flop having come {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, Robert Betts checked and Craig Stein did the same. Reggie Lyons bet 80,000 and Betts min-raised to 180,000. That's when Stein stepped in and raised all in for 617,000, and that was enough to get Betts and Lyons to surrender their hands and give the pot to Stein.
