Satubayev Triples With Quads, Eliminating Skhulukhiya
Level 8
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 6,000 from under the gun, and Shyngis Satubayev jammed for 57,000 from the hijack. Alexander Zubov then moved all in from the cutoff for around 200,000, and Skhulukhiya called off his remaining 52,000 when the action got back to him.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠K♥
Shyngis Satubayev: 9♠9♦
Alexander Zubov: A♣K♣
Zubov and Skhulukhiya shared the same outs, putting Satubayev in a reasonably good spot to virtually triple up.
Skhulukhiya's elimination and Satubayev's triple-up were guaranteed after Satubayev hit quads on the 9♥9♣3♠ flop.
The 10♥ turn and A♥ river were merely a formality as Satubayev pulled in the pot, while Skhulukhiya headed for the exit.
