Things That Make You Go "Hmmmm?"

There was 150,000 in the pot on the river, the board reading {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {K-Clubs} {8-Spades}. Ludovic Lacay moved all in for 1.87 million, sending John Martin into the tank. Martin thought about it for five solid minutes before finally calling off his remaining 575,000.

Lacay insta-mucked and Martin showed {Q-Spades} {9-Spades} for a flush. Since it was Lacay's bet that he called, Martin wanted to see the hand and it was fished out of the muck. Lacay had nothing but air with {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}.

Lacay is down to 1,870,000 while Martin has new life with 1.3 million in chips.
