The falls on the river to pair the board and complete the flush draw. It also brings a check from the previously aggressive Hope.
Steven takes a few moments to think before hesitantly tapping the table as well, checking back.
"I got clubs," Steven says, tabling for a rivered nut flush. Hope moves forward in his chair and then says, "What the f*?" before tabling for a rivered full house.
The entire table seems in shock that at least one bet wasn't put in on the river.
He sheepishly smiled as Hope gets pushed the pot, with a player next to Steven saying, "I wouldn't have checked it, but then again, I'd probably be broke."
Brandon Steven - 70,000
Anthony Hope - 55,000
