Skhulukhiya Flops the Nuts
Uri Reichenstein raised to 3,000 from middle position and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya three-bet to 12,000 from the button. After the blind folded, Reichenstein called to see a flop.
The flop came down 8♠5♠4♠ and Reichenstein check-called a bet of 6,500 from Skhulukhiya.
Reichenstein checked again when the 3♥ appeared on the turn and then faced a second barrel from Skhulukhiya, this time for 21,000. Skhulukhiya had roughly 40,000 remaining in his stack and after a thinking for a while, Reichenstein shoved to put Skhulukhiya all in. Skhulukhiya snap-called.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠K♠ 
Uri Reichenstein: 9♣9♥
Skhulukhiya had flopped the nut flush and Reichenstein was drawing dead with his pair of nines. An inconsequential 2♣ came on the river and Skhulukhiya doubled up.
