Ari Goott Takes Out Mark Muchnik

In a preflop all in, Mark Muchnik held {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} to Ari Goott's {J-Spades} {7-Spades}. The flop looked good for Muchnik when it came down {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} , but the {Q-Diamonds} fell on the turn, making Goott's straight. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Muchnik, last year's runner-up, wouldn't make it past the first round, while Goott advanced.
