MSPT Hall of Famer Rich Alsup limped-in from the small blind only to have MSPT champ Mo Nuwwarah raise to 28,000 from the big blind.

Alsup fired back with a three-bet jam and Nuwwarah called off his shorter 136,000 stack.

Mo Nuwwarah:
Rich Alsup:

It was a race with not much changing after the flop hit the felt.

The turn, however, fell the pairing Alsup’s queen but also giving Nuwwarah a spade flush draw.

Unfortunately for Nuwwarah, the river was a brick and ended his night on the Day 1a bubble.

Rich Alsup - 290,000
Mo Nuwwarah - 0
