Five-Four Doesn't Always Win

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Sathesh Muthu raised from the small blind and Hermann Lee called in the big blind. The {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop was checked and Muthu check-called a bet of 43,000 on the {J-Diamonds}n turn. The {5-Diamonds} river was checked and Lee announced a five, then showed {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. "If I didn't hit, I would have bet," Lee added.

The next hand, Lee limped the small blind and Peter Plater loudly announced "I check my option," Lee grinned back. There was no betting action on the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board and Plater said "I play the board" before turning over {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Lee had that beat with {10-Spades}{8-Spades} and claimed the pot.
