Shylko Has "Luck of the Champion"
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and David Vinayagamoorthy called from the small blind.
On the J♠2♠2♥ flop, Vinayagamoorthy check-raised to 55,000 after Shylko continued for 20,000. Shylko called.
The 5♦ turn then checked through to the A♠ river and Vinayagamoorthy led out for 65,000 and quickly called when Shylko made it 240,000.
Shylko had A♦A♥ for aces full for the winner. Vinayagamoorthy still tabled his hand as well, and he had a flush with his K♠5♠.
"This is the luck of the champion," chimed tablemate Ori Hasson.
