Two hands later and an out-of-position Yasuhiro Waki had the 
, with which he just check-called Erik Friberg, the final chips being bet on the turn with the board 
. After firing this 8,500, Friberg declined to follow it up on the 
river and this was the very point at which the had come into its own, if the Aces hadn't previously been in front.
