Bakhtiev Nears Three Million After Stacking Abelmasov

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Igor Abelmasov moved all-in for around 400,00 from late position and got put at risk by Ruslan Bakhtiev.

Igor Abelmasov: Q10 All in
Ruslan Bakhtiev: AQ

Abelmasov was in a sticky situation, but saw light at the end of the tunnel as the J8J flop gave him a gutshot. More outs appeared on the 5 turn as he picked up a flush draw, however the 6 river was a brick, and Abelmasov hit the rail.
