Fujimoto continued for a bet on the 2♥6♠4♥ flop and Scott Bohlman raised. Shack-Harris made it three bets to go, which got a call from Fujimoto and a fold from Bohlman.

Both players checked on the 3♠ turn and then Fujimoto bet after the J♣ completed the board.

Shack-Harris looked Fujimoto up and he tabled J♠J♦ for a set of jacks. Shack-Harris revealed he held A♥6♥ and said, "Jack of hearts!" which got a laugh from Fujimoto as he collected the pot.
