Skhulukhiya Gets Some Back
Level 27
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Sergio Aido raised to 600,000 from the button, and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya jammed for 750,000 from the big blind. Aido called.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♥9♠
Sergio Aido: K♠8♣
Aido had just decimated Skhulukhiya's stack with a hero call and now needed to come from behind to finish him off.
The 9♥4♥A♣ flop was almost as good as it could get for Skhulukhiya, as he hit top two pair to leave Aido drawing extremely thin.
The 5♠ turn secured Skhulukhiya's double-up, and after the 2♠ completed the board, he was back up to almost ten big blinds.
