High Noon-an

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jay O'Toole opened preflop to 1,800 with Stephen Ng flat-calling, James Noonan then squeezed all in from the big blind for 13,175. O'Toole quickly folded but Ng asked for a count before throwing in a call he could well afford.

Ng: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Noonan: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The flop looked to be a death sentence for Noonan when it came {4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and the {9-Hearts} on the turn didn't help either. But then from nowhere, the {5-Spades} appear on the river to save Noonan, doubling him up to 28,000 while Ng dropped to 62,000.
