Sibgatova Misses Her Flush to Bust
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Three players saw a flop of J♥6♥6♦ fall. Chady Ojeil checked from the small blind, and Alisa Sibgatova jammed for around 85,000 from the big blind. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya made the call from middle position, and Ojeil folded.
Alisa Sibgatova: Q♥10♥ 
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: Q♦J♦
Skhulukhiya was ahead with top pair, and he just had to avoid a heart to bust Sibgatova.
The 4♦ arrived on the turn and Sibgatova was one card away from elimination. The dealer burned a card, then peeled off the 10♦ on the river, improving Skhulukhiya to an unnecessary flush.
Sibgatova was out, while Skhulukhiya's stack grew to almost a million.
