Christian Arstad

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 10,000 and Christian Arstad pushed for 27,000 from the small blind, which Mustafov called. "Pocket sevens any good?" the Bulgarian asked before they turned over the cards.

Christian Arstad: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Fahredin Mustafov: {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop gave Mustafov a set, and the {2-Diamonds} turn and {J-Clubs} river left Arstad with all but the walk to the payout desk, he takes home €896 and will most likely be back tomorrow for day 1b.
