Mostafa Tilting

Since running pocket jacks into Joe Hachem's queens earlier in the day, Mostafa Belkhayate has been a loose cannon, firing chips relentlessly into practically every other pot.

Most recently, he gave about 90,000 away to American Noah Siegel, calling bets down to the river on a {3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board. When the {2-Clubs} fell off on the river, Siegel put on the brakes and passed the first option to Mostafa, who bet 45,000. Siegel made a quick call forcing Mostafa to show {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Siegel tabled a meager {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of queens, which was good enough to take down the pot.

After the hand, Mostafa was left with approximately 230,000 in chips - down from the 523,000 he started the day with, while Siegel climbed to 410,000.
