Default Live 2/5 - Hand Reading Exercise

Hand takes place at 3am at the Wynn in Las vegas.

Reads:
UTG Player: Wearing a pokerstars shirt, claims to be a hotshot poker player, says he regularly plays 5/10 NL, hasn't gotten out of line, has been pretty card dead it seems and has not seen many flops, he has not shown any bluffs or any real aggression in the 2 hrs he's been at the table

Button: Weak-tight. Has not seen many flops, but has raised the ones he has seen and has folded many after his continuation bets have faced resistance - have not seen him get very aggressive post flop yet

On to the hand:

UTG ($1200) limps for $5. 3 limpers behind him including the button ($800). SB completes. BB checks.

Flop comes: ($30)

5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

The blinds check. UTG leads out for $35. Folds to the button who then raises it to $80. UTG then says to the button "you must have aces" and then quickly sets him all in for a gross over-bet of the pot. Button then insta-calls the crazy overbet.

What are their hands gentlemen?

Anyone who guesses their hands correctly gets my utmost respect.

Please tell me somebody had 55.

Since you are posting, i am sure at least one of the hands was absurd, my guess being 33.

If you tell me it was AA vs. KK, I will puke, and if it turns out the caller had a bare five, I will laugh. Ok, that ends my lame effort to cover all bases.

EDIT: I hate thinking I will be the first to respond and then finding out someone beat me to the punch.
