The {j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} ran out on the board to give "konraad" trips and send "fabricio651" to the rail.

Fintan Hand
Fintan Hand

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand opened to 920 from early position before he called a three-bet by "ctidwang" to 2,240 from the big blind.

"ctidwang" led out for 3,600 after the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} pounced on the flop and got a call.

"ctidwang" then fired out for 9,364 after the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and Hand called with just 1,373 left behind.

Both players checked after the {9-Clubs} paired the board on the river.

Hand turned over {8-Spades}{7-Spades} and his two pair was counterfeited on the river with "ctidwang" winning the hand with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

A short while later, Hand dusted off the rest of his chips and re-entered for a third bullet.
