Wantman Doubles as Mustafov Avoids Disaster
Level 22
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
"Kenar" raised A♦K♣ from early position to 320,000 and Fahredin Mustafov just called with K♠K♥ from the hijack. Matthew Wantman was in the big blind and called with 6♠5♠.
The flop came 6♣A♥6♥ and Wantman checked with his flopped trips, then "Kenar" bet 375,000. Mustafov called, then Wantman made it 900,000 to go. "Kenar" called, and Mustafov folded his kings.
A 9♠ hit the turn and Wantman, with 1,305,000 behind, shoved. "Kenar" took some time after the count was confirmed and then called.
Only an ace on the river would see Wantman eliminated, but the 4♦ completed the board, and the American player doubled up.
