On the third draw, Eichhorn took just one, while Klodnicki took two again. Eichhorn bet, Klodnicki raised, and Eichhorn went into the tank and laughed to himself.

"Oh you got very lucky this hand," Eichhorn said. "I was 50-50 to a one-five. Okay, I guess I have to call."

He tossed the call into the pot. "Nine-eight," Klodnicki said. He showed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Eichhorn showed {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, but it was no good, and Klodnicki scooped the pot.
