Two players both had A-8-6 on fifth street; one with {A-Hearts}

versus

. The player with the ace of spades got to bet the whole way because of the suit -- one case where suit ranking matters: spade, heart, diamond, club, highest to lowest, in that order. He split the pot, though -- he turned over A-8-6 for high and the opponent had A-2-7 for low.

On seventh street with {2-Spades}

showing for Brett "Gank" Jungblut and {8-Spades}

showing for Chau Giang, Jungblut checks. Giang bets what looks like a straight and Jungblut raises. Giang calls and Jungblut has {Q-Hearts}

for the boat.

"I was going to fold earlier," Jungblut says to Blair Rodman after the hand. "But you said I always hit. So I called, and I filled up on seventh!"

Gank has 7020 and Giang is down to 1350.
