Judah Builds a House

With three players checking the action around on the flop and turn, the board read {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} as the {J-Spades} fell on the river. T6 Poker pro Mel Judah finally decided to fire at the pot with a 1,000 chip bet. PokerStars pro Noah Boeken went into the tank and stared Judah down, much to the disgust of the third player in the hand who commented "You're staring him down but you're not worried about me?" Boeken eventually called before the third player raised it up an additional 5,000 quipping "You're worried about me now huh?" Meanwhile Judah made a quick call before Boeken folded.

Judah flipped over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a full house which was too good for his opponent's {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for trips. Judah now jumps to around 18,000 in chips.
