Koop Loses Race, More Players Bust Before End of Level
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Niko Koop raised from early position and Fahredin Mustafov moved all in from the big blind. Koop quickly called and was at risk as players flipped their cards.
Niko Koop: A♥Q♠ 
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♥10♣
It was a classic race and the board ran out 6♦5♣5♠K♦3♣ and Mustafov held with his pocket tens to win the pot, eliminating Koop from the tournament.
Viacheslav Goryachev, Artur Martirosian, Masashi Oya, Aleksejs Ponakovs, and Victoria Livschitz also busted in the second half of the first level of the day.
