Poker is a competitive game, but it can also bring about friendly competition.

WSOP bracelet winner Arash Ghaneian and Steven Bennett provided proof of the latter scenario during a hand.

Ghaneian raised preflop in late position, and Bennett called in the small blind. The two men looked at each other and chuckled.

The dealer fanned 4A9 on the board. Bennett checked, and Ghaneian followed with his own check.

“No way!” Bennett said after Ghaneian acted.

The 8 showed up on the turn, and Bennett once again checked. This time, though, Ghaneian bet 175,000 and Bennett folded, showing 64 face up.

Ghaneian then showed Bennett what he had before tabling A8 for the rest of the table.

“Sneaky!” Bennett exclaimed, which got a laugh out of Ghaneian.
