Deja Vu All Over Again

There was a famous hand played out on High Stakes Poker where Daniel Negreanu flopped a set of sixes, Gus Hansen flopped a set of fives, and Gus turned quads to win a very, very big pot from Daniel.

We just had almost the same situation play out on Table 1. The flop came {3-?} {5-?} {6-?} and Asher Derei, holding pocket fives, called his opponent's bet. He did the same when another five fell on the turn. When his opponent bet again on the river Derei moved all in and got the call. His opponent turned over pocket sixes and as players from other tables rushed over to see the carnage one player saw his Main Event come to a cruel end and Derei saw his stack rise to 181,000.
