Van Thuyh Finds a Five, but Opponent Finds an Ace

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

PokerStars qualifier Robert Van Thuyh just lost a solid portion of his stack when he lost with the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to an opponent's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} after all of the money went in preflop. Van Thuyh cheered for a five to come by yelling, "Come on a five!" It was delivered when the flop rolled out {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} though and landed his opponent with a high set. The river completed the board with the {K-Spades}.

Van Thuyh was kicked all the way back to just 30,000 in chips after that defeat.
