Mustafov Fights Back

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov struggled to gain momentum early in the heads-up contest and found himself down under the 4,000,000 mark. Mustafov limped on the button holding {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Aliaksandr Hirs checked his option out of the big blind with {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop spelled trouble for Hirs as he checked to Mustafov who decided to slowplay his trips, checking back.

Both players picked up a flush draw on the {3-Hearts} turn but Hirs chose not to bet, instead checking to Mustafov for a second time. At this point Mustafov decided it was time to ramp up the action, leading out for 300,000. Hirs responded by raising to 900,000 and Mustafov, not going anywhere, flatted.

The {10-Hearts} river improved both players to a flush with Hirs opting not to seek value from his holding, checking to Mustafov who pushed a small bet of 700,000 into the middle. That sent Hirs into the tank but eventually he found a disciplined fold to send the pot over to Mustafov.
