Kakhmazov Dispatched

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Down to last 1,325, Nadar Kakhmazov shoved from the button over a raise to 1,000 from a player in the hijack. Nobody else joined the contest, and Kakhmazov's opponent threw in one more chip, calling.

Nadar Kakhmazov: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Kakhmazov saw he was a favorite and looked to his left-hand neighbor: "Good, bro," he shouted in excitement.

Both players caught a piece on the {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, with Kakhmazov drawing for a flush, trying to avoid his opponents' open-ender. The {A-Spades} turn was safe for the Russian bracelet winner, but the {10-Spades} river ended Kakhmazov's chances at taking down another $5,000 event here at the 2017 WSOP.

He offered, "Good luck," to the table before leaving the tournament room.
