Murtazin Stays Alive With a Set of Queens
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
The player on the button min-raised to 7,000 and Ilnur Murtazin three-bet shoved out of the small blind for 69,000. After the big blind folded, Murtazin's opponent made the call.
Ilnur Murtazin: Q♥Q♦ 
Button: 8♣8♦
Murtazin was in great shape to double up back to over the starting stack with his pocket queens. The flop came down Q♠9♥7♥ to put Murtazin in the lead with a set of queens. The 10♦ turn did give his opponent a straight draw, but the A♦ on the river was safe for Murtazin and he doubled up.
