Bezhanyan Rivers Two Pair to Take the Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Mohamed El-Wely raised to 600,000 on the button and Aren Bezhanyan defended his big blind.
Bezhanyan check-called a bet of 800,000 by El-Wely on the A♥3♦10♦ flop.
The turn came the 4♠, causing Bezhanyan to check again. El-Wely bet 1,100,000 and Bezhanyan went into the tank. After burning through a time bank card, Bezhanyan check-jammed for 3,500,000. El-Wely snap-called.
Aren Bezhanyan: 10♥9♥ 
Mohamed El-Wely: A♠Q♣
El-Wely was ahead with top pair against the second pair of Bezhanyan. Whoever won this pot would become the new chip leader.
The dealer peeled off the 9♦ on the river, causing El-Wely to bash the table in frustration at Bezhanyan improving to two pair to win the pot.
