Mustafov Busts Vardjavand; Hellmuth Gone
Toni Vardjavand got his short stack in with the 
on a flop of 
and fahredin Mustafov looked him up with 
for the open-ended straight draw and the 
turn instantly improved the Bulgarian. A blank 
on the river failed to improve Vardjavand and he joined the rail.
Alex Foxen mucked his cards after two players showed a king-high straight, which was not the nuts in this case, but Foxen failed to beat that and headed to the rail. Soon after, Phil Hellmuth's fight with a short stack came to an end as well and Rifat Palevic's aggression took a big pot off Dominik Paus.
Paus checked the cutoff on the 
turn and called a pot-sized bet of 48,200 by Palevic before checking the 
on the river. Palevic shoved for around 55,000 and Paus reluctantly folded, he was then shown 
by the Swede.
