"Of Course I Knew He Had It"

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With a big pot already established until the {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} turn, Naman Madan checked from the hijack and Richard Gryko got his remaining few chips in the middle of the table. Madan almost beat him into the pot and the following cards were turned over in the showdown:

Richard Gryko: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Naman Madan: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

While Gryko had flopped the straight, he was already drawing dead and could all but laugh when the meaningless {3-Hearts} river completed the board. "Did you see his hand?" one player at the table asked and Madan smirked back.

"Of course I knew he had it, I knew he had four five," Madan replied and raked in the pot.
