. Siegal took the lead again on fourth when Rocco checked {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

to his

{K-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

; Rocco called again. Both players checked fifth street; Rocco bet sixth street and was called by Siegal. On the river, the boards were:

Both players checked, leading Rocco to announce, "Jacks," and open {J-?}
