Miegel Not Making it to Day 2

Jakob Miegel shoved his small blind for 80,000 and was reluctantly called off by Ludovic Breau in the big blind.

Jakob Miegel: 86 All in
Ludovic Breau: A8

Breau dominated Miegel, but the 101026 saw Miegel take a big lead. The 8 river made Breau the best pair however, tens and eights with an ace kicker, and he eliminated Miegel late on Day 1b.

Losev Loses to Nashar on River

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Hassan Nashar
Hassan Nashar

In a pot of 105,000 Alexey Losev pushed all in for 89,000 on a turn of 52107 from early position. Hassan Nashar in the cutoff asked for a count, which Losev understood as "call."

He was about to show his cards when the players and dealer stopped him, after which he decided that his mouth was a suitable place to store them instead.

"I just have ace-high," Nashar confessed. It mattered little, however, as he slammed in a call shortly after stating his hand.

Alexey Losev: K10 All in
Hassan Nashar: A9

Nashar celebrated loudly as the 8 river made him his flush and he eliminated Losev shortly before the money.
