Picking the action on the turn of a board that showed A♦4♦8♥A♣. The small blind checked, and Mohamed El-Wely bet 101,000 from the cutoff. El-Wely made the call.
The Q♥ rolled off on the river, and the small blind player checked again. El-Wely quickly fired 292,000, causing his opponent to go into the tank. After some thinking, the small blind player called, and El-Wely stood up and slammed A♠J♦ down for trip aces, while saying "My friend! My friend."
