We report specific heat measurements on a high quality single crystal of the heavy-fermion compound CePt$_2$In$_7$ in magnetic fields up to 27 T. The zero-field specific heat data above the N\'{e}el temperature, $T_N$, suggest a moderately enhanced value of the electronic specific heat coefficient $\gamma = 180 \; \rm{mJ/K^2mol}$. For $TComment: 5 pages, 4 figures
