Michael Rocco: XxXx/5♥4♣4♠
Thomas Taylor: XxXx/5♠8♥6♥
Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx/Q♦K♣J♦ - folded on fifth street
Thomas Taylor completed before Andrey Zhigalov raised. Michael Rocco called, as did Taylor and they went three-handed to fourth street.
All three players checked before Taylor bet on fifth. Zhigalov called, but Rocco raised. Taylor reraised, Zhigalov folded, and Rocco called all in.
Taylor made 6♣7♠6♦8♣ for a full house, while Rocco had 2♥3♥4♥ showing for trips and a low draw. He peeled the 9♣ on seventh and slammed it onto the table with such force that the card bent in half before heading to the rail in eighth place.
