Mahmoud Triples, Chouity Takes Out Friese in Three-Way All In

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yassin Mahmoud moved all in for 155,000 in early position and Nicolas Chouity called from the hijack. Timothy Friese then reshoved for 360,000 in the cutoff as action folded back to Chouity, who tanked for a moment before calling having both opponents covered.

Yassin Mahmoud: K?7?
Timothy Friese: 9?9?
Nicolas Chouity: A?J?

"If you're thinking about it I'm probably all right," Friese said as he turned over his nines. "I was hoping you guys were blocking each other a little more," he added when he saw their cards.

The flop came Q?A?10? and Chouity took the lead with a pair of aces. The J? fell on the turn and Mahmoud made a straight, securing the triple up once the 2? fell on the river.

"Oh my God," he repeated as the main pot was pushed his way.

"It's been real," Friese said as he headed off to the payout desk.
