John Quirk had gotten lucky once against Fred Paradis for his tournament life. He would have to get lucky again if he wanted to eliminate Fred, as Fred held the best hand with [Kh][3s] to John's [Js][Td].
The [3c][4c][As] gave Fred a pair of threes, but John was still live with two overs. The dealer placed the [Th] on the turn and instantly John put his hands behind his head, anticipating a blank river to give him the trophy he wanted to badly. When the [4d] hit the river, John pumped his fist in excitement and instantly shook Fred's hand for a well fought battle.
