Hansen’s Fives Come Alive to Ensure Survival
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Lasse Hansen shoved for 300,000 from the hijack and Pawel Wojciechowski called in the cutoff.
Lasse Hansen: 5♦5♥ 
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦Q♠
Wojciechowski got off to a great start on the 9♣Q♦10♣ flop after he paired his queen, which prompted Hansen to get to his feet. However, he soon sat back down again on the 5♣ turn as he improved to an unbeatable set, which left Wojciechowski drawing dead. An 8♦ dropped on the river, and Hansen's stack grew to 660,000.
"Standing up is really working today," joked Wojciechowski.
