Marco Traniello Gives Up, but Still Manages Not to Lose

We caught up to the action at Marco Traniello's table to find him involved in a pot with three other people. The Small blind started the action off by betting into a board of {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts}. Traniello and two others made the call.

The Small Blind again bet out when the {7-Diamonds} came out for the turn. This time Traniello was the only one to make the call.

A river {A-Spades} scared the small blind from betting, but it did not scare Traniello, who for the first time during the hand made a wager. After some deliberation the small blind called. Traniello sullenly told his opponent "You have it" and very slowly flipped over {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. Traniello's opponent slowly flipped his whole cards to reveal {7-} {4-} for a chop pot.
