Tabiyev's Spin-Up Begins
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Boris Tabiyev got his stack of roughly 15,000 into the middle from the button, with the player in the big blind looking to send him to the cashier's desk for a reentry.
Boris Tabiyev: Q♣J♠
Big Blind: 8♠7♠
Tabiyev was ahead with queen-high, although the 9♠5♠3♥ flop gave his opponent plenty of outs with a straight flush draw.
Tabiyev paired his queen on the Q♥ turn, and after the 5♣ paired the board on the river, he doubled up to more than a third of the starting stack.
