Mustafov Takes Three-Bet Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jose Gaona opened to 1,800 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 5,000 from Fahredin Mustafov in the hijack. Action folded back to Gaona, who called.
On the K♥5♦5♠ flop, Gaona check-raised to 7,500 versus a continuation-bet of 2,500 from Mustafov.
Mustafov called to see the 3♦ turn, where Gaona fired out a bet of 7,000. Mustafov again called.
The 8♣ river completed the board, and was quickly checked through. Gaona tabled A♥8♥ for the rivered pair of eights, but Mustafov had been good all along with J♥J♠ for a pair of jacks to go with the fives on the board.
