: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of Q♦A♥J♦ with around 56,000 in the pot. Farzat Aram checked before Ali El-Siblani pushed all in for 64,000, a little over a pot sized bet. Aram made the call.
Ali El-Siblani: 7♠7♣ 
Farzat Aram: 10♣9♣
"Wow, no way!" said a neutral player, who was surprised to see both player's turn over less than desirable hands. El-Siblani had effectively turned his pocket sevens into a bluff, but was called by a worse hand in the form of Aram's straight draw.
The turn came the 4♥ and river the 6♦, so El-Siblani held and doubled up his stack.

Nikolay Fal open-raised to 5,000 and Rahat Babayev three-bet to 15,000 from the next seat across, which only Fal called.
The flop ran out 10♥2♠6♠ and Fal checked. Babayev made it 9,000 to go and Fal called. On the 2♦ turn, Fal checked again and Babayev bet 11,000. Fal called again.
The river was the A♠ and Fal checked a third time, prompting Babayev to push all in, putting his shorter stacked opponent under pressure. Fal went into the tank before chucking his cards into the muck, giving Babayev the pot.
