Rees-Brennan Gets Opponent To Muck Top Full House...

Talk about luck of the Irish...

Rory Rees-Brennan fired out on a {Q-Diamonds} {10-?} {3-Diamonds} board with {A-?} {K-Diamonds} after his opponent had checked before both checked a third diamond on the turn.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Rees-Brennan's opponent checked again, the Irishman bet 4,500 and his opponent had clearly seen the fourth diamond but had not seen that the board had paired! He then folded {Q-?} {Q-?} face up as a result.

Rees-Brennan waited until the dealer mucked the cards before turning over his hand to win the pot, which was when his opponent realised his terrible mistake...
