Nashar's Fall
After Hassan Nashar went all in and lost to Andrey Daniliuk in the previous hand, he found himself with just 4,100 chips left. In the under-the-gun position, he went all in blind. Daniliuk made the call, but no one else wanted to join the fray.
Daniliuk revealed A♦10♦, while Nashar hadn’t even looked at his cards yet, turning over A♣K♠.
The board ran out 5♣Q♠7♣A♥J♥, and Nashar scored a crucial double-up.
In the next hand, Nashar found himself in the big blind and warned everyone at the table that he’d go all in again. Dmitry Gromov, sitting in the cutoff, boldly raised to 1,500. True to his word, Nashar pushed all his chips in, and Gromov called.
Hassan Nashar: 3♣2♣
Dmitry Gromov: A♠7♥
The flop came down 6♥3♥6♦, giving Nashar a pair and putting him ahead.
But the turn brought the 5♥, giving Gromov plenty of outs for a flush or a straight. Nashar jokingly asked the dealer, “Give him a four or a heart.”
His wish was partially granted when the river showed the A♦, giving Gromov a better pair. With that, Nashar was eliminated and made his way to the registration desk, ready to give it another shot.
