The board ran out 
and the queen on the river improved Traut's hand after his opponent flopped a pair of jacks.

"Just think about all the things you can buy with �8,800," Lavallee jokingly said.
As Traut remained silent, Lavallee continued, "I'm not sure about you, but to me �8,800 is a lot of money."
Eventually Traut folded, and Lavallee showed,

"You know I would've at least made a straight," Lavallee said, as all the players went on a break.
