Paul Makes the Scary Call

Level 4
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With 14,000 chips in the middle, Roland Paul check-called 3,200 from Pierce Hynes on a 7?4?2? flop.
The pair both checked the 3? turn and the 10? put four hearts on the board. Paul checked and Hynes bet 15,500.
Paul thought before calling. Hynes turned over A?4? for a pair of fours, with Paul's 8?8? good enough to win the pot.
