: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
There are no friends at the poker tables, a fact that Mustafa Haidary discovered in a hand against his buddy Mohammed Elkassir with the pair clashing in a hand that saw Haidary hit the rail.
Haidary had flopped top set on a king-high flop, and Elkassir had a big wrap and had picked up a backdoor flush draw on the turn, which is when all the chips went in. This duly came in on the river to send Haidary to the rail and shoot Elkassir up to 419,000.
