Nasser Al Mujaibel Eliminated in 2nd Place ($250,500)
Ivan Bryksin was on the button and raised to 10,000,000. Nasser Al Mujaibel decided to defend his big blind, after which the 4♠A♠2♥ flop was put on the felt.
Al Mujaibel check-called Bryksin bet of 20,000,000, after which Bryksin put in a hefty 50,000,000 on the 7♥ turn. Al Mujaibel was not going anywhere yet as he made another check-call, and the 3♦ river completed the board.
Al Mujaibel then quickly led all in for 61,500,000. Bryksin took little time to make the call, seeing Al Mujaibel table Q♣4♣ for a pair of fours.
Bryksin played A♥2♠ for two pair, winning the hand. The stacks of both players were carefully counted, after which it was determined that Bryksin had the covering stack, leading to an eruption from the Russian player.
Al Mujaibel took his defeat gracefully and shook hands with Bryksin before departing the stage to pick up his runner-up cash of $250,500, only his second-ever recorded tournament result.
