Andreev Eliminated by the "Set Destroyer"

Andrey Andreev is out (for the moment at least) after flopping top set with pocket-sevens on a flop but running into the made straight held by Afshin Taheri with in the hole. With no help on the turn or river for the Russian, he will have to re-enter to stay in contention.

It is great news for Taheri though, with the Iranian more than doubling what he started the day with. His good run has not gone unnoticed by his opponents either, with Raffaello Locatelli proclaiming him the "set destroyer" before promising to fold any sets against him.
