Dota Holds to Double Off Mustafov
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Vazha Kometiani raised to 100,000 in early position and both Victor Dota in the cutoff and big blind Fahredin Mustafov called.
"Short-stack battle," Mustafov said as the flop came K♠4♦3♣. Action then checked to Dota who moved all in for 350,000. Mustafov called and Kometiani got out of the way.
Victor Dota: A♦K♥Q♦J♣ 
Fahredin Mustafov: A♣6♣5♠4♣
Dota was ahead with top pair, while Mustafov had a pair and straight draw. The 9♠ turn and 10♠ river were no help to Mustafov and Dota doubled up.
"Trapping preflop?" Mustafov asked.
"By mistake, not on purpose," Dota replied.
