Balaban Doubles Through Bhasin

Roy Bhasin potted from under the gun and Tim Balaban made the call in the big blind.

On a flop of {3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades} Bhasin bet out, Balaban moved all in and Bhasin called.

Bhasin flipped over {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the lead against Balaban's {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. However the {J-Spades} on the turn gave Balaban the nut flush and a lock in the hand. The river was the {4-Hearts} as Balaban jumps to 9,000 with Bhasin still in good shape with 65,000.
