Mustafov Predicts a Bad Beat

Calum Grant

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ramzi Zuraikat opened to 8,000 from under the gun before Fahredin Mustafov made it 35,000 from the next seat over. Benjamin Woywode jammed for 147,000, which Zuraikat called. Mustafov jammed for 8,500 more and Zurakait put in the extra chips.

Benjamin Woywode: J♣J♦
Fahredin Mustafov: K♣K♦
Ramzi Zuraikat: 10♠10♣

As the cards went on their back, Zuraikat called for a ten.

"In this place, it can happen," said Mustafov.

Zurakait then called for spades after the 6♠3♠3♦ flop, but he found the 10♥ on the turn instead to make a full house. Mustafov was sickened, and he paid up his masseuse bill after the 5♥ river.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hossein Ensan had re-entered after he was eliminated earlier today but never got much going. He eventually three-bet jammed for 73,000 over a raise by Nils Pudel and a call. Only Pudel came along to set up the following showdown.

Hossein Ensan: K♦J♠
Nils Pudel: A♦9♠

The Q♦6♣4♥8♠8♣ board missed both players and ace-high was good enough for Pudel to knock out Ensan.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Gianluca Gallo was in the big blind and had a three-bet to 22,500 in front of him before Jerry Odeen four-bet to 50,000 in early position.

Gallo tanked for several minutes as he agonized over the decision until moving all in. Odeen snap-called for his last 180,000.

Jerry Odeen: K♣K♠
Gianluca Gallo: A♥A♠

Gallo showed he didn't really have a decision as he woke up with aces to crush the kings of Odeen. The board ran out 2♠9♠J♣2♥6♦ and Odeen was sent to the rail thanks to the massive cooler.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Patrik Jaros was on his second bullet of the day when he jammed his final 37,5000 chips in from under the gun. Xhavit Berisha was next to act and rejammed 149,500. The rest of the table eventually folded and the cards were shown.

Patrik Jaros: 5♠5♦
Xhavit Berisha: A♥Q♥

The 6♣6♦9♠7♥ brought some counterfeit outs for Berishe, but it was the Q♦ river that sealed Jaro's fate. He was eliminated from the main even for the second and thus final time.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the river of a completed board of A♣J♠8♠K♠K♣, Santhosh Suvarna had checked. Fabio Peluso bet 36,500, which covered the remaining stack of the recent WSOPE bracelet winner.

Suvarna went deep in the tank and Akin Tuna called the clock on him. Before a floor could arrive, Suvarna called all-in with the K♥10♣ for trips kings but Peluso had the best of it holding A♦A♥ for aces full of kings.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka raised to 7,000 in early position. "My friend, perfect spot to double up," Ren Lin told him as he moved all in for 30,000 on the button. Sklenicka called once action folded back to him.

Ren Lin: A♠Q♥
Michael Sklenicka: Q♦9♦

"Ten of diamonds is all I need," Sklenicka said, but he found much more than that as the dealer turned over 9♥9♠7♥, giving him trip nines. Lin put his head down on the table as the 8♣ fell on the turn.

"Too much gamble," Lin said going to the K♦ river. "See you at the final table," he said to Santhosh Suvarna at another table as he went off to reenter.

Munteanu Triples on the River, Keating Takes Massive Side Pot Off Kluzak

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

What turned out to be one of the largest pots of the day began when Bogdan Munteanu bet 10,000 under the gun on a flop of 10♣4♠J♠.

Alex Keating called in early position before Josef Kluzak raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Munteanu then moved all in for 55,000.

Keating asked the floor to come over and confirmed that Kluzak couldn't raise if he called before he put in the chips. Kluzak also called and the 8♦ fell on the turn.

Keating then bet 80,000 and Kluzak moved all in for 230,000. Keating snap-called and turned over Q♦9♦ for the turned straight.

Kluzak had 9♠8♠ for a pair to go with straight and flush draws, while Munteanu showed 10♥10♦ for a set. Keating was poised to scoop the entire pot and move up past 1,000,000 until the river brought the 8♣.

"Yes," Munteanu said as he unleashed a big fist pump after making a full house. He tripled up, while Keating won the massive side pot to bust Kluzak.
