Yankov's Fives Somehow Win

Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov checked a flop of 9?2?3? from the big blind and faced a bet of 30,000 from Patrik Zidek, who was sat early position. Yankov called.
The 8? turn and 7? river got checked through and Yankov flipped up 5?5? for just a pair of fives to take down the pot.
