Ibrahim Musleh (Staten Island, NY)Seats 1 and 10 can always be a problem for players, especially when those two are heads up. And that exact situation leads to the end of Ibrahim Musleh's tournament.
Alexander Shteyman raises to 60k from UTG with AK from Seat 1 and is reraised to 180k by Musleh, who's in the BB holding A9 in Seat 10.
Shteyman reraises all-in and Musleh asks how much more the bet is. Shteyman replies, "600 more" and Musleh calls thinking it's only 160k more.
After a brief discussion, it's clear Musleh misheard Shteyman and is dominated. The board runs clean for Shteyman who doubles to 1.3 million, while crippling Musleh.
A few hands later David Meagher ends Musleh's tournament when his pocket 8s flop a set to knock out Musleh (A 2) in 7th place.
