Forrest Buys a Yacht

We caught just the tail end of this hand, but it is certainly noteworthy.

Ted Forrest and another player were looking at a board of {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. The unknown player bet out, Forrest raised, his opponent reraised all in, and Forrest made the call.

The player confidently turned over {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} for a full house, but Forrest was unimpressed. He tabled {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, giving him the bigger boat, and sending his opponent to the exit.

After the hand, Forrest sits with approximately 25,500 in front of him.
