Skarparis Fills Up on Nurmuhammedov

Level 1 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Parahat Nurmuhammedov

Bakhos Joumaa limped in from the cutoff before Parahat Nurmuhammedov raised to 5,000 from the small blind. Georgios Skarparis put in a three-bet to 12,600 from the big blind, forcing Joumaa out of the pot while Nurmuhammedov made the call.

The flop came A?K?3? and Nurmuhammedov check-called an 18,000 continuation bet from Skarparis.

Both players checked the 3? turn leading to the 7? river. Nurmuhammedov checked, Skarparis moved all in for approximately 35,000 and Nurmuhammedov, who covered Skarparis slightly, snap-called to put himself at risk.

Nurmuhammedov tabled Q?J? for the nut-flush on the flop but Skarparis showed down K?K? for a turned full house to score the a full double up and take down a sizable pot.

Nurmuhammedov would bust out the very next hand, committing his final 14,000 chips preflop with 7?7? only to fall to Joumaa who held K?J?, hitting a full house on the K?K?5?4?4? runout.
