Balaev's Ladies Earn Him a Double
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nebi Baysal limped under the gun before Viacheslav Balaev raised to 700,000 from the cutoff. Baysal jammed for Balaev's remaining 1,800,000 when it folded back to him, and Balaev happily called.
Viacheslav Balaev: Q♦Q♣ 
Nebi Baysal: A♦K♥
Balaev needed his queens to hold up against the Big Slick of Baysal.
The board of 4♦7♣J♣6♣5♥ was clean for Balaev's Ladies, and he earned the much-needed double-up.
