Josh Pang Ang
Josh Pang Ang
Pocket fives have been kind to Josh Pang Ang so far today. He eliminated one player who was all in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} against Ang's pocket fives. Fives were the winning hand on a board of {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades}.

A short while later, Ang found himself in a pot against two opponents. On a flop of {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, one opponent led out for 1,600. Ang flat-called that bet before the opponent behind him raised to 5,000. That raise folded the original bettor but brought a surprising reraise from Ang to 10,500. All the chips were quickly in, with Ang tabling {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} against his opponent's {4-Spades} {5-Spades}. The board paired on the turn with the {2-Clubs}, ensuring that Ang would win the pot.

In quick succession thereafter, Ang was dealt pocket queens and won a small pot against one opponent, and then flopped a set of sixes but got no action. He's running hot right now and is sitting behind almost 50,000 in chips.
