French player and Maltese resident Victor Fryda is teaming up with Paul Amsellem.
Fryda told to PokerNews he built a nice stack thanks to a huge pot preflop. He was holding pocket aces when his opponent had pocket queens.
The player under the gun raised to 1,600 and the cutoff player, the small blind player and the big blind player, Rick Rosetti, all called.
The flop came out J♠10♠4♥ and everyone checked.
The river is where all the juiciness happened with the 7♠ the player in the cutoff made his move all in for 22,000 and everyone folded except Rosetti, who called.
Cutoff player: J♥Q♥
Rick Rosetti: J♦7♣
The river brought the 6♣ and Rosetti won with his two pair.
And someone at the table said, "And the rich get richer".
Anyone familiar with Benjamin Rolle's poker stream will be familiar with the running joke that is his and his partner, Jeremy Grayson's team name, a play on the word flush-draw, and in this hand, Rolle would scoop up a much-needed pot.

Rolle tabled 7♦6♦ for a rivered pair of sixes and his opponent showed down A♠K♦, for ace-high.
