Fahredin Mustafov Eliminated in 2nd Place ($143,800)

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Fahredin Mustafov
Fahredin Mustafov

Fahredin Mustafov limped on the button holding {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Aliaksandr Hirs checked his option out of the big blind with {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Hirs led into Mustafov for 500,000 on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. That did not appear to sit well with Mustafov who was somewhat handcuffed by his short stack. Eventually he did push his remaining chips into the middle and Hirs snapped it off.

Fahredin Mustafov: {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Aliaksandr Hirs: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Hirs was two cards away from victory while Mustafov would need to get lucky to survive. The {j-Clubs} turn kept Hirs ahead and, with all eyes on the monitor above the table, the dealer burned and turned over the {8-Hearts} to confirm Mustafov's exit in 2nd place.

Stay tuned for a full tournament recap to follow.
