Elias Hourani brought it in, and Michael Sopko completed. Hourani called, then called bets from Sopko all the way to seventh street, where Sopko bet again. Hourani looked at his hand, then told Sopko, "You are so lucky!"
Sopko responded, "I am?"
Hourani turned over 
and said, "I started with ace-six-five-two, and got the two-two-nine."
Sopko rolled over 
for sixes full of queens and said, "Crazy game."
