Five-Four Doesn't Always Win
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Sathesh Muthu raised from the small blind and Hermann Lee called in the big blind. The 
flop was checked and Muthu check-called a bet of 43,000 on the 
n turn. The 
river was checked and Lee announced a five, then showed 
. "If I didn't hit, I would have bet," Lee added.
The next hand, Lee limped the small blind and Peter Plater loudly announced "I check my option," Lee grinned back. There was no betting action on the 
board and Plater said "I play the board" before turning over 
. Lee had that beat with 
and claimed the pot.
