Skhulukhiya Bailed Out on the River
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michel Habib limped in from the small blind and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 130,000 from the big blind. Habib moved all in, covering Skhulukhiya who had approximately 700,000. Skhulukhiya called and was at risk.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♦J♠
Michel Habib: A♣Q♣
Skhulukhiya was in rough shape with a smaller ace and found no help on the 2♦6♠K♠ flop. The 6♥ turn brought some additional outs to chop the pot. The river was the A♥ giving both players aces up with a king kicker and they chopped the pot.
