Natasha Mercier was the aggressor in the hand, betting sixth and seventh streets. Larry St. Jean called both bets, while the third player in the hand called the first and folded to the final bet.
"Do you have a flush?" Mercier asked, and St. Jean nodded and showed 
. "I don't know what I have yet," Mercier said and checked her cards, then mucked before adding, "How are you even in the hand? He even has the spades covered."
Both also battled in a seven-card stud hi-lo hand that was chopped, with Mercier's two pair going against St. Jean's combo draw and low. The latter ended up with just a pair of fives, though, and had to settle for half the pot.
"What is your name?" Mercier asked. St. Jean replied, "Saint. Saint Genius," then asked Mercier for the same. She replied, "Natasha." and St. Jean asked, "But what is your nickname?" before they carried on with the next hand.
