Ross Going Backward

McKeehen bet again, but this time Ross came back with a raise. McKeehen called.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and McKeehen called another bet. Ross showed an ace, but McKeehen had {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a full house to take the pot.

Ben Ross raised from early position and both Steven Wolansky and Yueqi Zhu came along from the blinds.

All three players checked the {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} flop before Zhu bet on the {3-Clubs} turn.
