Fahredin Mustafov Eliminated in 3rd Place ($200,000)
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Damir Gabdullin raised to 250,000 on the button and Fahredin Mustafov moved all in for 3,040,000 in the small blind. Gabdullin paused for a moment but eventually slammed in the chips to call.
Fahredin Mustafov: A♣9♥
Damir Gabdullin: A♠10♠
Mustafov was dominated until the flop brought 9♣8♠6♠, giving him top pair but Gabdullin the nut flush draw.
"What is this?" Mustafov said.
"This is Hollywood production," Alex Kulev asked as an innocent bystander.
The J♦ turn also gave Gabdullin a straight draw. "Too many outs," Mustafov said, and one of them came in on the Q♣ river as Gabdullin hit his straight to bust Mustafov in third place.
Gabdullin and Kulev are taking a break before beginning their heads-up match.
