Sheth Triples Up; Song Building a Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 4,000 from the hijack and was called by Luka Bojovic from the button. Lars Tungel moved all in for 37,000 from the small blind before Ravi Sheth put in his last 32,000 from the big blind. Mustafov folded and Bojovic put in the call after a few moments of thinking.

Ravi Sheth: A10All in
Lars Tungel: 33All in
Luka Bojovic: 77

Sheth made a pair on the K102 flop to take the lead before making the nuts to triple up after the 9 turn and Q river. Bojovic was left with around 60,000 while Tungel was booted out.

Mustafov, starting the hand with around 200,000 chips, was eliminated just a few hands later. It appears that Stephen Song claimed most, if not all, of Mustafov's stack, as Song was the only player at the table with a comparable chip count.
