Ellis Flops a Set
Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of 4♣5♥A♦. Angelo Gambrelis led out with a bet of 22,000 in late position, Rich Ellis moved all in for 93,000 in the hijack to put himself at risk, and the player in the cutoff called. Gambrelis flashed the A♥ before mucking his cards.
Rich Ellis: 5♣5♦ 
Opponent: A♠Q♠
It was the dream spot for Ellis and his set of fives held as the board ran out 8♦, 2♣.
