"C'mon aces, please. Aces," Qusai Albakeer said as the cards were being dealt for a new hand at the feature table.

He didn't get his wish, but he did look down at Q♥J♦ on the button. "All in," he said, tossing in a green 500,000 chip as he shoved for his last 2,225,000. Fahredin Mustafov and Adrian State both quickly folded in the blinds.

"Thank you," Albakeer said as he took the pot.
