Results in white below:
SB has 9h 9s (full house, nines full of sevens).
Silverfist has Ks Kh (full house, sevens full of kings).
Outcome: SB wins $25.40.

Hand 3:

(I couldn't find the hand history for this one, but I raised $.50 and someone pushed all-in for $11. I decided given the chance that someone would have aces (about 1 in 22), it was a bad risk to call. He showed queens).
