Leah and Kassela had involved themselves in a betting war before seventh street where we caught the action. Leah bet and Kassela raised, leaving each player committing 1,650 chips each, plus what was in the middle of the table. Leah sighed and called, then Kassela showed {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a full house.

"I was blocking a king," Kassela said. "And at least one jack was dead."

Leah showed his {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} showing that he had a full house regardless, and it was a massive cooler in favor of Kassela with the bigger full house.

Kassela looked a little astonished but collected the pot anyway.
