Shchelkun Cracks Cowboys
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ivan Shchelkun was at risk for his last 10,000 and needed a lot of help from the dealer to crack the hand of Otar Gurgenidze.
Ivan Shchelkun: 9?7? 
Otar Gurgenidze: K?K?
Shchelkun couldn't have asked for much more on the 4?6?3? flop as he picked up both flush and straight draws. The 5? turn completed his straight, which left Gurgenidze drawing to a chop. Shchelkun managed to scoop as the 9? river was a brick, which kept him alive, albeit still with a short stack.
