The board read {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} by the turn and Chris Tryba fired out a bet 2,625.

His opponent on the button had position on the dangerous pro, and after a brief tank he committed the calling chips to see the {j-Spades} complete the board on the river.

Both players tapped the table on fifth street, and Tryba was the first to announce his holding with a quick shout of "sixes!" as he tabled the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

His opponent could only muster the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for an inferior pocket pair, and the pot was pushed to the pro playing for a worthy cause here today:
