Skhulukhiya Hits a Miracle to Crack Maue's Cowboys
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alexander Zubov limped from the hijack before Leonard Maue raised to 28,000 out of the small blind with around 150,000 behind. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya jammed from the big blind with a covering stack, which got Zubov to tank-fold. Maue however, instantly called.
Leonard Maue: K♣K♥ 
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 9♣9♠
Skhulukhiya was in bad shape against the Cowboys of Maue, and found no help on the 6♦5♦5♥ flop or 7♦ turn. But, the 9♥ river was exactly what he needed as it improved him to a full house to win the pot, and send Maue to the exit.
