Just the way the whole thing happened...

Main Event FT - Arieh raises with (I believe) AK - Williams smooth calls the raise from the blind, and then announces he's checking in the dark.

Arieh goes "your dark checking?" with a confused look on his face - Arieh then pushes Williams all in on the flop which contains a 5, and goes CRAZY when Williams calls with his set, bitching about how he called off 1/3 of his chips with pocket fives....

He has good reason to go nuts. Risking 1/3 of your stack with a small pocket pair and then checking in the dark is just suicide.

Williams got extremely lucky in that hand.

Williams responded to this before on this forum. He said he felt Arieh held AK or AQ only. He also knew that Arieh was going to push on any flop if checked too. Williams was planning to check/fold any flop with a A,K, or Q and call a push on any other flop. As it was Areih flopped an ace and Williams hit his set. But had the flop came JT6 Williams was still calling an all in by Arieh.
