Bakhtiev Quickly Loses Half His Stack

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There were already around 30,000 chips in the pot on a 7KA flop when the small blind checked and Ruslan Bakhtiev bet 12,000 from the big blind. Reza Rahbari called on the button, and the small blind folded.

When the 2 hit the turn, Bakhtiev wasted no time in tossing out a single white chip, worth 25,000, and bet all of it. Rahbari didn't seem too impressed with the sizing but tossed in the chip anyway.

A 5 hit the river and Bakhtiev waved the white flag, knuckling the table, which prompted Rahbari just to flip his cards over and show KJ for a pair of kings. Bakhtiev couldn't beat that and sent his cards back to the dealer, leaving Rahbari to rake in the pot.
