Shylko Picks Up Aces to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 120,000 under the gun as action went on Ivan Banic in the hijack. He used up a few time banks but ended up folding. Catalin Pop, though, three-bet to 325,000 in the cutoff. Action got back to Shylko who moved all in for 475,000, and Pop called.
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♦A♥ 
Catalin Pop: 8♠8♣
"I knew you had aces," Martin Kabrhel said.
"You're such a good player," Shylko replied.
"I agree. He didn't know," Kabrhel added.
The board ran out 10♥K♣4♠2♠Q♥ and Shylko doubled up right before the three-table redraw.
