Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up with Hassan Nashar betting 10,000 in the dark before the flop of 8♥Q♣9♦. Damir Gabdullin called on the button. Nashar then moved all in on the 3♠ and was snap-called by Gabdullin.

Damir Gabdullin: J♠10♠ All in
Hassan Nashar: Q♠7♣

Gabdullin had flopped the nuts and Nashar was drawing dead. The 4♥ river was inconsequential.

The very next hand. Gabdullin opened to 600 from the button. Nashar put in the last of his stack from the big blind.

Hassan Nashar: 5♦4♦ All in
Damir Gabdullin: A♦10♦

Gabdullin made two pair across the 3♦A♣6♣10♥Q♣ runout to secure the last of Nashar's stack. A sense of bewilderment fell upon the table as Nashar departed the tournament area.
