The repeat J♦ peeled off on the turn. Guagenti led, Bolden called, Vitch folded, Glantz raised, and only Bolden called.

The river brought the 3♦. Bolden checked, Glantz bet, and Bolden tanked for over a minute before he decided to flick in the call. He got the bad news immediately as Glantz revealed A♥J♥8♥2♠ for a full house as he raked in a massive pot.
