At the WSOP 1999 final table, Noel Furlong had a smaller pair of fives (5♣ 5♦) and Alan Goehring was sitting with a pair of sixes (6♥ 6♦). Furlong limped in from a small blind, Goehring checked.

 

 
The flop came with Q♠ Q♣ 5♠ and gave Furlong a tremendous advantage over Goehring as it gave Noel Queens full of fives. However, Furlong decided to check rather than raise, and Goehring made the same.

 

The turn brought 2♠, and Furlong finally raised to $150.000. Goehring didn't want to be left behind, so he bet $300.000. After that, Furlong moved all-in. Being trapped, Goehring called.

 

 
The river dropped 8♠ giving four outs to Alan, but it wasn't enough to overcome Furlong who had a full house. Thus, Furlong became the 1999 World Champion, winning $1.000.000 in prize money.
