Barakat Triples With Aces, Fazel Takes From Kose
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ali Fazel raised to 575,000 under the gun, leaving himself just 25,000 behind, and Bulent Kose called in early position. Hassan Barakat then stuck in his last 130,000 from the small blind.
The flop came K?Q?2? and Fazel checked to Kose who bet, and Fazel called for his last chips.
Hassan Barakat: A?A? 
Ali Fazel: 7?7?
Bulent Kose: 4?4?
"Hassan, Hassan," tablemate Amir Saeid said to Barakat after he showed down two aces. The board ran out K?6? and Barakat tripled up, while Fazel took the side pot off Kose to virtually double.
