Fadi Nakhoul opened to 12,000 from under the gun and found a call from the cutoff. Action then folded around to Alisa Sibgatova in the big blind.
Sibgatova took some time before announcing all in, sliding her stack of 112,000 chips forward. Nakhoul mucked his hand, as did the cutoff and Sibgatova took down the pot.
