A few hands later a bigger pot had developed between the pair. Again both were in late position, and this time the board read . David checked again, and Ziyard once more bet — this time about 20,000 (about two-thirds of the pot). David thought a while once more, then called. Ziyard quickly showed his for a full house, and David mucked.
