Got a Story to Sell You

It started as a seemingly less-than-special blind-vs.-blind hand in which the small blind limped and Dan Hart checked his option from the BB. Then came the flop -- {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} -- at which point things became interesting rather quickly. Really, it did.

The small blind bet 2,700 -- less than half the pot -- and Hart promptly raised to 6,000. "What are you trying to sell me on?" asked the small blind as he made the call.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}. The small blind checked this time, then Hart bet 10,000. Hart's opponent then check-raised to 40,000.

"What are you trying to sell me on?" asked Hart. He made the call. (You buyin' this?)

The river then came the {5-Spades}. The small blind quickly announced he was all in, and Hart called with his remaining chips.

The small blind showed {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for trip sevens, but Hart had him outkicked with {A-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Now that was a story worth something, yes? It certainly was for Hart, who bumps all of the way up to 240,000 on that one.
