Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Han Kuo and Fahredin Mustafov got the chips in after the J♠10♦3♦ flop in a battle of the blinds with Kuo at risk for 80,000.

Han Kuo: A♠K♣K♥4♠
Fahredin Mustafov: A♦Q♦6♠4♥

The 4♦ turn and 4♣ river gave Mustafov a flush, while Kuo initially thought he had a full house.

"Only Asian full house,"Mustafov joked back. The dealer was about to split the pot before Mustafov added "if there is all-in all-in, just give me the chips."
