Michael's Stack Going in the Wrong Direction, Mustafov Benefits
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On a board of 8♥K♥9♥6♦, there were already around 400,000 chips in the pot when Fahredin Mustafov checked it over to Angelos Michael, who made an overbet of 600,000. Mustafov then shoved for just under 1,200,000, and after careful consideration, Michael called.
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♣7♣ 
Angelos Michael: J♠10♥
Michael had a redraw to a higher straight and a flush draw, but it was Mustafov who was in the driver's seat with one card to come. All eyes were locked on the board when the dealer put out the A♣ on the river, which meant Mustafov took the huge pot, and Michael become one of the short stacks.
