Darner Calls Seven Bets to Take Lead
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
When we arrived at Matt Matros' table him and Mark Darner were deeply involved in a hand. At this point, Darner was confirming the amount of Matros' five-bet and then announcing a six-bet. It was here that Matros seven-bet all-in. Darner snap called and Matros said, "Have you got aces?" as he turned over 
. When Darner turned over 
, the whole table erupted, none more so than Mike Matusow who got out of his chair and shouted, "I've seen a lot of things in poker, but never that many bets with ace-king."
"This is for the tournament right here," said Matusow as he had yet to calm down and take his seat.
Darner had over 300,000 behind when he made the all-in call and Matros watched on as the dealer spread a 
flop on the felt. He was good so far and if he won this pot, he would have over a million in chips - which would almost be the chip average heading into the final table. The 
on the turn was also safe, but there was still one card to come.
River: 
Matros, the whole table and most of the room couldn't believe what they just saw. Matros sent the majority of his stack to Darner who now holds a big chip lead over the field.
