Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

There was already a flop on the board in the form of {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} as Diego Martinez checked to Scotty Nguyen. Nguyen put in a bet of 2,500 and Erik Seidel called. Martinez raised to 7,000 and Nguyen had a tough decision. He took his time but decided to fold. Seidel three-bet to 20,000 after asking how much Martinez had behind and Martinez pushed all in for 37,000. Seidel called and saw the bad news when he tabled {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and he asked if Martinez had sevens. Martinez responded with a "yes" and he opened up {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The {K-Diamonds} turn and {2-Spades} river completed the board and Martinez caught a big double-up, while Seidel received big setback.
