Skhulukhiya's Aces Cracked by James' Set
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A huge pot just played out between Giorgiy Skhulukhiya and Bobby James, with the latter recalling the action.
Skhulukhiya opened middle position to 5,000 and James called in the small blind.
The flop came 6♠3♥J♣ and James check-called a bet of 5,000 from Skhulukhiya to the 3♠ turn. James went into check-call mode again when Skhulukhiya bet 21,000.
A third check came from James on the Q♥ river, then Skhulukhiya unloaded the third bullet of 100,000. James went into the tank for around three minutes before he shoved 218,000.
Skhulukhiya only needed around 30 seconds before he called, but saw the bad news as James rolled over a set with 6♥6♦. As James was all-in, Skhulukhiya was forced to reveal his hand and flipped over pocket aces!
