Wheel and a Straight Six for Zhigalov

Level 17
Andrey Zhigalov
Andrey Zhigalov

Action picked up on fifth street as Michael Moncek and Andrey Zhigalov were heads-up.

Michael Moncek: XxXx / 3A4J / Xx
Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx / 3264 / Xx

Moncek opted to check-call on fifth with the ace showing, and he did the same on sixth after catching the jack, with Zhigalov's board getting increasingly dangerous.

On seventh, Zhigalov put out a final bet, and Moncek reluctantly called.

"Wheel," Zhigalov announced, flipping over the A5 followed by the J, and he also held the straight to the six for good measure as he scooped Moncek.

Shortly after the hand, Philip Sternheimer was eliminated, bringing the field to its final four tables with 32 left.
