Mustafov Takes Three-Bet Pot

Richard Hayes

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.

A pot of 65,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A♥8♠5♥3♦6♣, in a hand between Marcin Kacprzak in middle position, and Benjamin Frainge in the small blind.

Frainge led out with a bet of 26,000, and was met with a jam with the covering stack by Kacprzak.

Frainge, who had around 45,000 behind, went into the tank, but after around two minutes, made the call.

He tabled A♠K♦ for top pair aces, and exclaimed "Wow, crazy river!" when Kacprzak turned over 9♥7♥ for the rivered straight, having held a flush draw on the flop.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With 28,000 in the middle on a 7♠7♣8♦2♦ board, Jozef Cibicek checked from the big blind and Felix Grossmann fired 12,500 from the button. Cibicek called.

On the 4♠ river, Cibicek checked it over once again, and after some time pondering with 50,000 behind, Grossmann knuckled back.

Cibicek then revealed ace-high with A♥K♦, and that was good for the pot as Grossmann quietly mucked his hand.
