"Just a Pair of Fives Baby!"

John Kabbaj raised to 46,000 from the small blind and Nikolay Evdakov called from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Kabbaj checked. Nikolay bet 40,000 and Kabbaj called.

The turn went check-check when the {8-Clubs} fell.

Kabbaj checked when the {3-Clubs} fell on the river and Evdakov bet out 100,000. Kabbaj called and showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for bottom pair. Nikolay showed the {10-Spades}{6-Spades} and Kabbaj was shipped the pot.

As he stacked his chips, Kabbaj yelled out, "Just a pair of fives baby!"
