Neither the turn nor river helped Muftari and he was out in ninth place for $14,916. Knee called with for top pair and top kicker, which was out in front of Muftari’s top pair with second-best kicker. According to the HPT, Bruce Knee bet a king-high flop only to have Muftari move all-in over the top. The final table was an eclectic mix of players, including former Special Forces member Murat Muftari of Royal Oak, Michigan, who was the first to go.
The stop marked the 12th time the HPT visited the riverboat, and once again the Main Event grew in prestige and attendance as it increased 38% over last year.
