Iliev Can't Find a Fold; Ciurea Hits River to Double
A sizeable pot between Iliya Iliev and Fahredin Mustafov had brewed, with 20,000 in the pot on the 5♥4♦9♥6♦8♥ completed board.
Iliev checked in the big blind, and Mustafov fired out 20,500 from the button. Iliev went into the tank, using several time banks before putting in calling chips. Mutsafov tabled A♥3♥ for the nut-flush, and cracked Iliev's A♦A♠.
As that hand completed, there was an all-in and call on a neighboring table.
On the 7♦2♠J♠10♦ board, Nazih Al Tajar and Christian Ciurea exchanged raised from under the gun and middle position, that saw Ciurea all-in for hi slast 23,100.
Christian Ciurea: 10♠6♠
Nazih Al Tajar: KxJx
Al Tajar was ahead with top pair, but Ciurea still had some hope with his second pair and flush draw. The A♠ came in to give the shorter stack the checkmark to double-up.
