Mestre Cracks Aces, Nasir Eliminated
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was joined with the cards already on their backs. Hamza Nasir had manoeuvred his remaining 275,000 stack into the middle and was at risk versus Raul Mestre on a 9♠3♣6♦ flop.
Hamza Nasir: A♠A♣
Raul Mestre: 8♦7♦
Nasir's pocket aces held firm on the 9♣ turn, but the river was a step too far, as the 5♦ improved Mestre to a straight.
On separate neighbouring tables, Joao Vieira and Fabiano Cappelli also fell in the final couple of hands of the level.
