Skarparis Fills Up on Nurmuhammedov

Level 1 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Parahat Nurmuhammedov

Bakhos Joumaa limped in from the cutoff before Parahat Nurmuhammedov raised to 5,000 from the small blind. Georgios Skarparis put in a three-bet to 12,600 from the big blind, forcing Joumaa out of the pot while Nurmuhammedov made the call.

The flop came AK3 and Nurmuhammedov check-called an 18,000 continuation bet from Skarparis.

Both players checked the 3 turn leading to the 7 river. Nurmuhammedov checked, Skarparis moved all in for approximately 35,000 and Nurmuhammedov, who covered Skarparis slightly, snap-called to put himself at risk.

Nurmuhammedov tabled QJ for the nut-flush on the flop but Skarparis showed down KK for a turned full house to score the a full double up and take down a sizable pot.

Nurmuhammedov would bust out the very next hand, committing his final 14,000 chips preflop with 77 only to fall to Joumaa who held KJ, hitting a full house on the KK544 runout.
