There was an open under the gun to 3,500. Brent Hanks called in the cutoff and Aliaksandr Shylko made the call in the small blind. The players were off to a flop three ways.
The A♣6♣5♥ flop hit the felt and Shylko started with a check. The preflop raiser made it 2,500 and both Hanks and Shylko made the call.
The 8♦ turn rolled off and now Shylko went into the tank for a moment before leading to the tune of 9,500. The under the gun player snap folded but Hanks made the call.
The A♠ hit the river and Shylko went into the tank for about a minute before putting one blind to the side and sending the rest into the middle. Hanks only took a minute before making the fold and Shylko dragged a big pot to take him out of the short stack play.
