Fives Find the Flop

Men Nguyen was up against an all-in player who held {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} before the flop. The Master looked to be donating a double up as he tabled {A-Spades} {5-Spades}, but the dealer had other ideas.

The flop rolled out {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} to vault The Master into a huge lead. The {3-Clubs} on the turn opened the door though, as his opponent had picked up a flush draw. The river was a blank though, as the {6-Diamonds} spelled the end for another player.

With that knockout, Nguyen has moved up to 145,000 just in time to order another beer from the cocktail server.
