Skhulukhiya Extracts Value From Malinov
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Atanas Pavlov opened to 200,000 from the hijack and got called by Aren Bezhanyan in the cutoff, Atanas Malinov on the button, and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya from the big blind.
All three checked the K♣5♥4♦ flop to the 3♣ turn, where Skhulukhiya led for 475,000. Pavlov and Bezhanyan folded, but Malinov stuck around.
When the 6♠ fell on the river, the board got a lot dicier, prompting Skhulukhiya to bet a small amount of 350,000. After some tanking, Malinov called.
"Is two pair good?" said Skhulukhiya before he rolled over 5♣4♥.
"Two pair is good," replied Malinov.
