Nashar Goes Nuclear

Connor Richards

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After losing most of his stack in a previously reported hand, Hassan Nashar moved all in for 55,000 from the small blind on top of a late position limp. Teun Mulder re-shoved a stack of 70,000 from the big blind to get the hand heads-up.

Hassan Nashar:
Teun Mulder:

Nashar was hesitant to reveal his holding and tossed his cards to the dealer once the board ran out to give Mulder the winning hand, at which point the dealer turned the hand face-up. Nashar was eliminated but wasted no time buying in on his second and final bullet and was seated at the same table right next to Mulder.

It was deja vu a few hands later as Nashar pushed his starting stack into the middle and was once again looked up by Mulder, who had lost some of his newly added chips in a previous hand after folding to a four-bet shove from Sam Grafton to make himself the effective stack.

Teun Mulder:
Hassan Nashar:

Nashar was quick to show his hand this time but once again failed to improve as the board ran out to leave himself with crumbs. Before PokerNews could catch up, the Gambia-based action player was out of the tournament.
