Froehlich Caught in the Middle

We just caught the action on the turn in an interesting pot. When we arrived the action was on the player in the under the gun position who bet 400.

The board read {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Froehlich opted to raise from middle and the player on the button folded. Now it was on the big blind who gave it some thought and called. The player in the under the gun position didn't waste time putting in a third raise and both players called.

The river was the {J-Clubs} and the big blind checked once more after which the under the gun player bet 400. Froehlich called and now the big blind put in a check-raise. After the under the gun player called Froehlich sighed and mucked his hand. The player in the big blind showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a rivered full house, and his opponent showed {7-}{7-} before he threw them into the muck.
