Lan was clearly overjoyed to be ahead, calling on his cards to hold. There was a jack in the window of a flop which caused him to cheer out loud.

The turn, however, drew 'oohs' from the assembled rail, who had gathered to see the big all-in showdown, as the gave Pezzaniti flush and straight draws.

There was a pause before the river was dealt - and what a river it was. The caused Pezzaniti to celebrate, having hit his flush, but it was all for naught as celebrating equally loudly was Lan who had rivered quads.
