Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 5,500 in the hijack and Andrei Podoksenov made the call on the button. Salah Assi defended his big blind to the K?7?J? flop.
Assi checked to Skhulukhiya, who continued for 11,000. Both Podoksenov and Assi called and the dealer flipped over the 8? turn.
Another check from Assi was met with a bet of 15,000 from Skhulukhiya. Both opponents called again to see the 7? river. Assi checked one last time.
Skhulukhiya fired a bet of 40,000, leaving just a single 1,000 chip behind. Podoksenov called while Assi folded.
Skhulukhiya tabled 10?9? for a straight, taking down a nice pot as Podoksenov showed K?Q? for two pair.
