Kinney's Fives Good
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
There was at least 85,000 in the pot from preflop action as the dealer spread a flop of 
. Hesam Alagha was in the big blind and check-called a bet of 52,000 from Craig Kinney, who was in early position. Alagha made the call.
The turn came 
and Alagha led out, firing 100,000. Kinney thought for a few moments and called. Both players checked through the river 
to take the hand to showdown.
Alagha was first to act, thus tabling 
for an ace-high kicker to the board's pair of nines. Kinney tabled 
and took down the pot with two pair, nines and fives.
