Skhulukhia Sends Opponent Packing
A player in early position raised to 1,500. Action folded to the cutoff who stuck in a three-bet to 3,700. Giorgii Skhulukhia in the big blind and the early position player both called to see a 2♣5♥A♥ flop.
Skhulukhia and the early position player both checked to the player in the cutoff who led out for 3,500. Skhulukhia thought momentarily before settling on a check-raise in the amount of 11,100.
The early position player seemed to wince as he folded what appeared to be a strong hand, to put action back on the cutoff. After a minute of consideration, the player announced all in and put his chips forward.
Skhulukhia quickly called and the cards were on their backs with two cards to come.
Cutoff: A♣J♠
Giorgii Skhulukhia: 5♠5♦
The player in the cutoff needed help in the form of running cards but when the Q♣ hit the turn, he was drawing dead as the dealer put the inconsequential 2♦ out on the river to make his exit official as Skhulukhia collected the pot.
