A raising war broke out on third street, Justin Smith making it two bets, Mike Wattel making it three to go and Yan Chen four-betting. Smith tanked for a moment before folding, Wattel reraised all in and Chen called.

Wattel had jacks in the hole to Chen's queens in the hole and made jacks up on fifth street. Though Chen had a number of outs to a better two pair, he missed, while Wattel caught a third jack on seventh to make a full house and double up.
