Baxter Turns Broadway
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Amir Mirrasouli opened to 1,500 from under the gun before Shahin Edalatdju three-bet to 5,000 in the cutoff. Billy Baxter then moved his last 19,600 into the middle, producing a fold from Mirrasouli and a call from Edalatdju.
Billy Baxter: A♣K♦ 
Shahin Edalatdju: Q♠Q♥
Baxter remained behind after the 10♠7♥J♣ flop, while Edalatdju improved to a set on the Q♣ turn. That card also gave Baxter a straight to take the lead, and the A♥ river left Baxter cracking Edalatdju's set of queens to earn the double.
