State Breaks the Silence with a Double-Up
Nivel 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Fahredin Mustafov opened the button to 100,000 and Adrian State shoved from the small blind for 475,000. Once the big blind folded, Mustafov called.
Adrian State: A♦Q♦ 
Fahredin Mustafov: A♣5♦
State, who had quietly laddered up the payouts with minimal action, now had a chance to double up and make a real push. He was in a commanding position preflop and stayed ahead on the K♣7♣4♥ flop. The Q♥ on the turn sealed the hand, leaving Mustafov drawing dead. A meaningless 6♥ landed on the river, and State secured the double, putting him back in contention.
