In a blind versus blind battle with the board showing A♣A♦7♠9♦, Tim Pool led out for 1,500 and an opponent called.

The river was the 10♣ and Pool bet another 3,000. His opponent again called. "I flopped it," Pool said, revealing A♠7♦ for a flopped full house as the rest of the table burst out laughing.

"I guess he could've said quads," another tablemate said.

"They keep giving me boats. I've had aces three or four times," Pool said as he moved up to around 200,000.
