Cruse bet another 3,000 on the 5♦ turn, but this time Snapp raised to 6,000. Cruse called to see the J♥ river, where Snapp bet 5,000. Cruse quickly called.
Snapp turned over A♦Q♥ for top pair, but Cruse had A♥A♣ to win the pot. "You scared me there. I didn't raise you," Cruse told Snapp as he took the pot, already more than doubling his starting stack so far today.
