The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and Ireland checked again. Roeder counted out another bet of 220,000 and Ireland still called. The river was the {4-Hearts} and Ireland checked for the third time. Roeder shipped all in for 385,000 and Ireland hung his head with a big decision to make.

Ireland went into the tank for nearly three minutes before making the call. Roeder showed {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks while Ireland showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for two pair.
