Plesuv Takes a Chunk from Mustafov

Dec 6, 2015

Fahredin Mustafov has just tried an audacious and ultimately doomed river bluff in a hand against the Moldovan finalist, Pavel Plesuv.

Plesuv raised from the button with Club ADiamond 6 with both Pedro Marques in the small blind and Fahredin Mustafov in the big blind calling. The flo of Heart AClub 3Spade 5 fell and Plesuv c-bet for 85,000. Marques caled with Club 8Spade 8 and so too did Fahredin Mustafov, who had the gut-shot draw for a wheel, flush draw and bottom pair with Spade 4Spade 3 .

After the turn of Spade 9 and river card Diamond 7 came down, Mustafov laid down a huge bluff by betting 380,000. Plesuv thought for some time, but eventually considered his top pair to be good enough, and made the call. After Marques mucked and Mustafov showed his hand, the Moldovan was proved right.

Current chip-counts:

Javier Gomez – 3.6 million chips

Pavel Plesuv – 1.68m

Fahredin Mustafov – 1.44m

Pedro Marques – 975,000
