Shylko Runs Jacks into Fayziev's Queens

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Aliaksandr Shylko
Aliaksandr Shylko

Aliaksandr Shylko opened the hijack to 1,600 and Shukhrat Fayziev three-bet the cutoff to 5,300. When it got back to Shylko, he shoved for a little under 25,000, and Fayziev put in the call with a slightly covering stack.

Aliaksandr Shylko: JJ All in
Shukhrat Fayziev: QQ

"One time, two times?" joked Shylko in reference to how many times they should run it.

Shylko didn't have much to work with on the 1059 flop, and the 6 turn left him with just two outs and one shot to hit. Unfortunately for the Belarusian player, the 3 dropped on the river, which sent him to the rail.

With that pot, Fayziev's stack jumped up to around 50,000.
