There was a loud reaction across the room and it was too the benefit of Danny Penn.
Penn found himself all in preflop holding pocket jacks against king-four of hearts.
The flop was a devastating one, as his opponent made a flush.
A on the turn provided some hope for Penn with full house outs and he got just that on the river as he made jacks full to survive.
