Skhulukhiya Won't Go Down Without a Fight
Level 27
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya made it 1,700,000 from early position, leaving himself with just 100,000 behind, and Mikita Badziakouski raised from the cutoff. Skhulukhiya called off the rest when the action got back to him, and the cards were tabled.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: Q♠9♠
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦Q♦
Skhulukhiya was dominated with the inferior kicker, but that all changed when the 9♦8♥10♥ flop put him in front with a pair of nines.
The 5♦ on the turn gave Badziakouski some extra outs with a flush draw, but he bricked them all on the 2♠ river, and Skhulukhiya doubled again.
