Skhulukhiya Shoves as Clock Called on Moraru

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three-handed on a flop of A97, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya bet 16,000 from early position and Catalin Moraru called in the big blind, while Michel Habib folded under the gun.

The turn was the 10 and Skhulukhiya bet another 25,000. Moraru quickly called and the 3 fell on the river. Skhulukhiya then announced he was all in.

Moraru had around 45,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. The countdown had nearly reached zero before he tossed his cards into the muck and Skhulukhiya took down the pot.

Thomas Eychenne and Felipe Ketzer recently joined the field.
