Mussin Sets the Trap
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
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 K♥J♠7♣ 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: A♥4♥
Berik Mussin: K♣J♦
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.
