Skhulukhiya Leaves Akbarpoor with Crumbs
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Abdullah Akbarpoor opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya defended from the big blind.
The flop came K♣J♣5♣. Skhulukhiya checked, Akbarpoor moved all in for 51,500 and Skhulukhiya, who was slightly covered, made the call.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: Q♣10♦
Abdullah Akbarpoor: A♦10♣
Akbarpoor was ahead with ace-high but still had to fade Skhulukhiya's flush and straight draws. The J♠ turn was a brick but the straight came in for Skhulukhiya on the 9♠ river and he scored a full double up while Akbarpoor was left with just three big blinds.
Akbarpoor would do an admirable job trying to mount a comeback and did double through Benjamin Hamnett but was ultimatealy eliminated shortly afterwards.
