Bakhtiev Hits the Turn to Double Up
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
There was an open to 24,000 from a player in middle position before Ruslan Bakhtiev three-bet to 40,000 out of the small blind. Bakhtiev's opponent called to see a flop.
Bakhtiev put out a bet of roughly 60,000 on the 5♣6♠4♣ flop and his opponent quickly called.
The turn came the Q♠ and Bakhtiev bet 210,000 with around 140,000 behind. The middle position player shoved to put Bakhtiev all in, and Bakhtiev called for his remaining chips.
Ruslan Bakhtiev: K♠Q♣ 
Middle Position: A♦6♥
Bakhtiev had found a fortunate turn to take the lead in the hand with a pair of queens and just had to fade a six or ace on the river to double up. The 5♠ fell on the river and Bakhtiev doubled up through his opponent.
