Gobboboy Dented

We caught the action on the turn on a board of {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} with Jimmy "gobboboy" Fricke checking the action from the small blind over to his opponent in the cutoff, who fired 500 into the middle. Fricke deliberated before casually tossing three 500-denomination chips into the middle to declare a raise. His opponent instantly moved all in for around 3,000 in total and Fricke sighed before making the call.

Fricke held {5-Spades}{6-Spades} for trips but found himself in trouble as his opponent flipped {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a full house. The river was the {J-Hearts}, leaving Fricke on life support with only around 600 in chips.
