Matt Matros Hand from WSOP Super-Sat

I suppose nothing should surprise us in this day and age. But for heaven's sake, this was a $1,000 buy in event!

Played the Mega/Super Satellite (sic) for a main event seat (well, lammers for me). Hand of the tournament: Fish limps UTG, I limp in middle position with KcTh. Others behind me fold, but the blinds call. Flop QJ4 all hearts. Check, check, Fish leads out for T200 into T600 pot. I make it T700. Blinds fold, fish calls. Turn Kh. Fish checks. I bet T700. Fish says raise and throws in T1,000. I explain (not politely enough) that that's not a raise. Eventually he puts out T1,400. I call. River is Ah. Fish says, "I'm all-in." I say, "I call, I have a royal. Ship it." Fish shakes his head and says, "Nice hand, I have a straight," and rolls over QcTs. Remember, there are FIVE hearts on board.
