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.
