Fives Good for Sturm
Level 1
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Leon Sturm opened to 12,000 in early position and Alex Kulev called in the hijack as Jason Koon defended his big blind.
Koon checked on the flop of A♥4♠8♦ and Sturm continued for 14,000. Kulev called and Koon folded. Sturm then checked on the A♦ turn and Kulev checked back.
Sturm checked again on the 6♦ turn and Kulev checked back, only to muck as Sturm showed 5♣4♣ to win the pot with a pair of fives.
