World's Greates Golf Coach Knows a 5 is No Good

Parris Holmes, coach to some of the world's greatest golfers, started off the hand with a great draw, holding 2-3-4-6 vs. Ted Forrest. Both Holmes and Forrest drew one, Holmes pulling a 5 to make a straight and Forrest hitting a jack to make a pair of jacks. Both players checked after the draw and Forrest's pair of jacks took it down as the table burst into laughter at how poor the winning hand was.

So, like in golf, sometimes a 5 is bad in poker too.
