Button ($995)
SB ($1000)
BB ($1717.50)
UTG ($585)
Hero (UTG+1) ($1015)

BB checks, Hero bets $45, BB calls $45

Turn: ($155) 5 (2 players)

This guy was a total fish, but when he threw out that turn min-check-raise against an early position raiser, I threw up in my mouth. I just knew he had quads. Anyway, I talked myself down from that ridiculous conclusion- his tiny river bet helped:

Hero calls $123

River: ($647) 8 (2 players)
BB bets $260, Hero raises to $694 (All-In), BB calls $434

Total pot: $2035 | Rake: $3

Results:
BB mucked Q, Q (full house, fives over Queens).
Hero had A, A (full house, fives over Aces).
Outcome: Hero won $2032
