Skhulukhiya Wins With the Higher Kicker
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised the button to 10,000, with Mohamed Hammoud and Tobias Peters calling in the blinds.
All three players checked the 5♠6♦9♦ flop to see the 8♣ turn. Hammoud led out for 15,000, which both Peters and Skhulukhiya called.
The 5♥ completed the board, prompting another round of checks.
Hammoud turned over K♥2♦ for king-high, Peters revealed 10♠8♥ for a pair of eights, but it was Skhulukhiya's A♥8♠ that took down the pot with the same pair and the better kicker.
