Hand-for-Hand Mode Underway
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jakob Madsen raised to 40,000 and was called by Ali Balci as well as Fahredin Mustafov in the blinds.
The flop came 8♦4♣2♠ and Balci checked. Mustafov bet 55,000 and Madsen called while Balci folded after a few seconds of consideration.
On the 9♥ turn, Mustafov bet another 200,000 and Madsen folded.
The Bulgarian then joked "big stack is a problem, you have a problem, and you ... and me. Better to be short stack, no problem," Mustafov grinned.
After the hand was completed, tournament staff announced that hand for hand mode was underway two spots away from the money as the action recently had slowed down a lot.
