The threesome were shown a flop of 9♥ 9♠ J♦, which they all checked to see a 6♣ on the turn. They all checked again to lead to a J♥ on the river. Reskallah checked on the small blind, Phanlert Sukonthachartnant made a cool bet of 3,500. Rich stepped aside, but Reskallah made the call. Phanlert Sukonthachartnant showed J♠ 9♦ for a full house and more. Reskallah mucked.
