A Knockdown but no Knockout

Jeff Fenech was involved in a pot with a player on the button. The turn had just been dealt giving us a {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and Fenech bet 1,000, which was called. The river came {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, prompting Fenech to bet 3,500. His opponent called.

Fenech tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

for a turned full house. He took down the pot as his opponent showed {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for two pairs. Fenech is up to 25,000 now.

Fenech then engaged in some table conversation about his recent fight comeback victory and his victory in a recent celebrity poker free-roll where he won his seat for this tournament. Another player at the table commented, "Oh great, he can fight and he's good at poker."
