Mike Thorpe and Joao Vieira were on fourth street and Vieira check-called a bet before fifth street went check-check. Vieira then paired his board on sixth street and bet out, whereafter Thorpe raised all in. Vieira called and showed trip nines with a straight draw, but a brick on seventh street.
Thorpe, on the other hand, squeezed a diamond on the final street while repeating "no whammy" a couple of times and scooped the pot for a full double-up.
