Skhulukhia Sends Opponent Packing
A player in early position raised to 1,500. Action folded to the cutoff who stuck in a three-bet to 3,700. Giorgii Skhulukhia in the big blind and the early position player both called to see a 2?5?A? flop.
Skhulukhia and the early position player both checked to the player in the cutoff who led out for 3,500. Skhulukhia thought momentarily before settling on a check-raise in the amount of 11,100.
The early position player seemed to wince as he folded what appeared to be a strong hand, to put action back on the cutoff. After a minute of consideration, the player announced all in and put his chips forward.
Skhulukhia quickly called and the cards were on their backs with two cards to come.
Cutoff: A?J?
Giorgii Skhulukhia: 5?5?
The player in the cutoff needed help in the form of running cards but when the Q? hit the turn, he was drawing dead as the dealer put the inconsequential 2? out on the river to make his exit official as Skhulukhia collected the pot.
