Fellows Busts Aljoma to Take the Lead
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Khaled Aljoma started the action on the button with a raise to 250,000 and after some thinking, Peter Fellows three-bet to 650,000 in the small blind. Aljoma eventually called.
All the chips went in the middle on the flop 4♣7♦9♦. Fellows continued for 1,050,000 and faced an all in raise from Aljoma with a stack worth 3,650,000. Fellows tanked for a minute and called with slightly more chips:
Khaled Aljoma: 10♦10♥ 
Peter Fellows: J♠J♥
Fellows had the dominating hand and improved into a set of jacks with the J♣ turn while the A♦ completed the board, eliminating Aljoma from the event.
