Azor Eliminated in Final Hand
Level 8
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy raised to 5,000 and Fahredin Mustafov called. Ran Azor got his last 10,000 in from the big blind and Merzhvinskiy reraised to 18,000.
Mustafov then pushed after checking for the stack of his opponent.
"What do you have?" Mustafov asked and Merzhvinskiy replied with "eights". "Pocket eights? Easy fold!" Mustafov concluded and Merzhvinskiy indeed let go.
Ran Azor: 
Fahredin Mustafov: 
The board ran out 
and Mustafov pulled ahead of Nicolas Chouity to likely claim the lead on Day 1b.
