The dealer spread out {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} on the flop and the big blind check-called Hof's 400 continuation-bet.

They both checked through the {j-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Clubs} on the river. The player in the big blind tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Spades} for the pair of jacks on the board with the ace-kicker but was beaten by Hof's {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair, jacks and fours.
