Skhulukhiya Takes From Sibgatova

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Alisa Sibgatova opened under the gun to 2,000 and only got called in one spot by Giorgiy Skhulukhiya on the button.

The 8♠10♥4♦ flop landed and Sibgatova continued for 3,500. Skhulukhiya called.

The 8♣ turn hit the felt and Sibgatova slowed down with a check. Skhulukhiya took the betting lead and put out a wager of 5,500. Sibgatova was undeterred and flicked in a call.

The 8♦ river rolled off and Sibgatova checked again. Skhulukhiya thought over his options for close to a minute before checking back. Sibgatova was a bit hesitant to show but eventually tabled K♦9♦ while Skhulukhiya tabled pocket sevens for a boat and the win.
