Mussin Sets the Trap

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Berik Mussin
Berik Mussin

Abdullah Alajmi opened to 11,000 from under the gun and received calls from Berij Mussin in the cutoff and Jian Han on the button.

The flop came KJ7 and action checked around to Han, who moved all in for 31,000. Alajmi made the call before Mussin check-raised all in, covering Alajmi who had roughly 330,000 behind. Alajmi made the fold leaving Han all in and at risk against Mussin.

Jian Han: A4
Berik Mussin: KJ

Han had picked the wrong time to make a move and needed to catch running cards to pull ahead of Mussin's top two pair. The K turn gave Mussin a full house, leaving Jian drawing dead. The 8 river was inconsequential and Han made his exit from the tournament area.
