Step 1: Evaluate Tony G’s Hand

Tony G has:

• 6♣ 5♠ in hand

• Board: 6♠ J♠ 5♣ A♠ 5♥

Tony’s best 5-card hand:

• Full House: Fives full of Sixes (5♠ 5♣ 5♥ 6♠ 6♣)

---

Step 2: Evaluate Rousso’s Hand

Rousso has:

• A♥ A♣ in hand

• Board: 6♠ J♠ 5♣ A♠ 5♥

Rousso’s best 5-card hand:

• Full House: Aces full of Fives (A♥ A♣ A♠ 5♣ 5♥)

---

Step 3: Compare Hands

Both players have full houses, but:

• Rousso: Aces full of Fives

• Tony G: Fives full of Sixes

✅ Rousso wins — Aces full beats Fives full.
❌ Tony G is crushed on the river, despite making a strong full house himself.

---

Summary:

• Tony G flopped two pair (6s and 5s), then hit a full house on the river when the third 5 came.

• Rousso had an overpair (Aces), then turned trips and rivered a better full house.

• The river (5♥) sealed Tony’s fate — gave him a full house, but unknowingly gave Rousso a stronger one.

This is classic poker irony: you hit a monster hand and still lose to a bigger monster.
