I prefer shove in the flop, but well played IMO, the villain never folds his set in a spot like this.
Better luck next time

This whole hand played out weirdly, That UTG limped with the pocket 5's , with a 2-1 stack advantage is kinda strange. I suppose he might have been set mining with the intention of trapping. Betting his small pair pre-flop is a much stronger play. I can see why you flatted the A2s with 2 callers ahead of you and 2 players still to act, you are drawing to a nut flush and behind most aces. The SB only completing does't make a lot of sense iether. With 10bb's he should be shoving or folding, and in this situation with a pocket pair Getting 2-1 on my money and a pocket pair I am shoving pre-flop.
The flop comes and small bind now elects to shove his 2's with three over cards on the board and 8 outs to his open ended dfraw. UTG, who has flopped his set makes a min-raise for value. UTG+1 flats and when it come to your turn to act the pot is $321540 giving you an SPR of 1.6 to 1. Any bet here makes you pot committed. I believe a shove here is better than the slightly more than 1/2pot sized bet. Your bet gives them 8-1 pot odds, shoving makes their pot odds less than 2-1 . Any one holding a set has draw odds of about 6.7 -1 by only making the .6 pot bet you give them the right price. You have the small end of the straight and a backdoor flush draw and you would be behind 67s and or x6 hands. And there is still the chance that the pocket pairs would not fold but they are making a mistake. :bebored:

Just some thoughts

he did not fold for anything, he played at full and went in, he was lucky.
P.S. was the leader at the table

First of all, why not raise from the BU with Axs? Your opponents showed a lot of weakness by trying to limp to see the flop, placing a bet of 5-6BB from the BU should have done it. Also, on that flop it is certainly fine to raise like you did, only it could have been slightly more, closer to 250k. Anyways once you got called by UTG (limped pre), my first guess was he has a set, and considering it was 5way flop it is possible for someone to have A2, 67, making villain scared of raising. That turn is really bad for you, meaning there is no need to value bet that board at all, let alone shove. If you really are ahead, you will still be ahead on so many rivers, and if you are behind you are always going to get called. What hand can you put your opponent on, that limps pre, calls a re-raise on the flop, and then calls your shove on the turn and is behind your straight? Considering he checked on that turn, you should have checked back, it could possibly save you some chips on the river.
