Blind On Blind Brutality Leaves Mandara Short

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded around to Fahredin Mustafov in the small blind who looked down at {a-Spades}{2-Spades} and moved all in for 1,395,000. Ryan Mandara picked up {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} in the big blind and, after spending a time bank, made the call with a pained expression.

Fahredin Mustafov: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
Ryan Mandara: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Mustafov, though at risk, was a slight favourite to secure a full double. The {3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} kept him ahead and added a gutshot to the wheel for added equity. The {j-Clubs} turn, however, vaulted Mandara into a commanding lead but the {5-Diamonds} river brought in Mustafov's wheel draw to keep him in the tournament and leave Mandara short.
