Skhulukhiya Gets Value With Aces
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya limped in from the small blind with A♠A♦ and Jose Bogarin checked his option in the big blind with K♣5♥.
Both checked the 9♥9♦7♥ flop to the K♦ turn, where Skhulukhiya bet 225,000 and Bogarin called.
When the 8♦ hit the turn, Skhulukhiya wasted no time in putting out a bet of 525,000, and after a two-minute tank, Bogarin paid it off with his king.
Not long after that, Sergio Veloso opened 7♠7♦ from early position to 240,000 and Skhulukhiya defended 8♠6♣ in the big blind.
The flop came 4♣Q♦Q♠ and a bet from Veloso did the trick as he won the pot. Ihab Ali also just joined the feature table with a healthy stack of almost eight figures.
