Bordering on Incomprehensible

I was laughing at Shamus's recent post about "being played" by a hand, and had to wait less than a day before I encountered one that I think trumps his example. Sometimes the hand history alone tells the best story, so you be the judge:

Table '160514545 2' 9-max Seat #6 is the button
Seat 1: KydenB (1500 in chips)
Seat 2: linnj7 (1430 in chips)
Seat 3: CawtBluffin (1500 in chips)
Seat 4: AKShotgun (1670 in chips)
Seat 5: kat_nire (1060 in chips)
Seat 6: acestrogen (1360 in chips)
Seat 7: scarecrow25 (1240 in chips)
Seat 8: britcliff (1770 in chips)
Seat 9: Sect7G (1970 in chips)
scarecrow25: posts small blind 10
britcliff: posts big blind 20

kat_nire: folds
CawtBluffin: calls 40
*** SHOW DOWN ***
AKShotgun: shows [7c Jc] (three of a kind, Sevens)
CawtBluffin: mucks hand
AKShotgun collected 790 from pot
CawtBluffin said, "wow"
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 790 | Rake 0
Board [3h 7h 9c 6d 7s]
Seat 1: KydenB folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: linnj7 folded on the Flop
Seat 3: CawtBluffin mucked [Ks Kh]
Seat 4: AKShotgun showed [7c Jc] and won (790) with three of a kind, Sevens
Seat 5: kat_nire folded on the River
Seat 6: acestrogen (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: scarecrow25 (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 8: britcliff (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 9: Sect7G folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Yep, it even illicited a "wow" from me, less than perfect behavior that that is. The crying call was most definitely worth the 40, just for the story. A three-bet cold-call with J-7 is just... out there. But it was sooooooted!
