Level 5 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Robert Valden raised to 2,000 from under the gun. Duc Le and Luis Cruz called and Raymond Curran raised it up to 13,000 from the big blind position. Valden went all-in for 23,000 while Le, Cruz, and Curran called.

Just before the flop was shown, Curran announced that he was all-in for his last 8,000 in chips.

Flop: {j-}{8-}{4-}

With Curran all-in, action was now on Le who made the call. Cruz went all in and Le folded. Cards were on their backs.

Curran: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Valden: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Cruz: {q-}{j-}{10-}{9-}

Curran was ahead with his top pair of Aces but Cruz had the open ended straight draw to put pressure on Curran to hold.

The {3-Hearts} turn and the {8-Spades} river didn't improve anyone and Curran took down the huge pot.
