Everybody Makes Top Pair, Mustafov Drills the River
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
"Kenar" raised to 400,000 from under the gun with A♣J♦ and Fahredin Mustafov called in the cutoff holding J♠9♠. Matthew Wantman also called in the big blind with K♣J♥.
There was only one jack remaining in the deck, but it appeared on the J♣6♣10♥ flop as they all made top pair. Wantman checked, "Kenar" bet 600,000, Mustafov called, and Wantman also called.
A 5♠ on the turn checked through to the 9♦ river, which gave Mustafov two pair. Wantman checked, "Kenar" also checked, then Mustafov bet 1,700,000. Wantman took some time and called, which left "Kenar" in a tough spot, but he eventually folded. Mustafov took down the pot with his two pair.
