James Dempsey raised from ealy position and Tony Merksick called on the button. Mikael Thuritz called from the big blind as well to make it three players to the flop.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Dempsey bet after Thuritz checked. Merksick called and Thuritz also called. The turn added the {A-Hearts} to the board and Dempsey bet again after Thuritz checked. Merksick called and Thuritz folded.

The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} and Dempsey bet into his only opponent. Merksick flashed the {A-Spades} and mucked saying, "I wish I made a full house."

"I wish you did, too," responded Dempsey, who increased to 693,000 in chips. Merksick dropped to 214,000.
