Five-High Wins It
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chunghau Liao potted to 70,000 under the gun and picked up a call from Michael Monroig on the button. Adel Jo then ripped for 238,000 in the big blind, and Liao backripped his stack after a lengthy tank. Monroig got out of the way instantly.
Adel Jo: A♥A♣5♦2♦ 
Chunghau Liao: A♠K♥10♠8♥
The flop was a wild one, as 8♦Q♦J♠ gave Liao a ton of outs, with a wrap as well as two pair, and trip draws. The 9♠ got him there instantly, and the 10♦ improved him to Broadway. The table, thinking Jo was dead on the turn, burst into laughter upon noticing that Broadway was no good, as Jo had made a flush with his rags to stay alive.
