Isaev Doubles Through Mokhtari
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With over 30,000 in the middle on a 6♦Q♥5♠ flop, Nikolai Isaev checked the big blind and Tommy Mokhtari bet 12,000 from the cutoff. Isaev then shoved 32,000, and Mokhtari reluctantly called.
Nikolai Isaev: Q♣2♦ 
Tommy Mokhtari: A♣J♥
Isaev was ahead with his queen, but needed to dodge a few more outs as the J♠ hit the turn. Luckily for him, the 2♣ river improved him to two pair, earning him the double-up.
