Petersen Reduces the Field by One
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexander Petersen opened to 20,000 from middle position and Fahredin Mustafov three-bet shoved for 54,000 from the cutoff.
"I have double-suited aces" Petersen said before making the call with a covering stack to put Mustafov at risk.
Fahredin Mustafov: A?K?J?6?
Alexander Petersen: 10?8?6?5?
Despite not having double-suited aces as he claimed, Petersen made the best hand by the river after the 7?6?5?9?K? runout gave him a ten-high straight to send Mustafov to the rail a few spots shy of the money and take the pot.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Murilo Milhomem was also recently eliminated.
