Skhulukhiya Leaves Akbarpoor with Crumbs
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Abdullah Akbarpoor opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya defended from the big blind.
The flop came K?J?5?. Skhulukhiya checked, Akbarpoor moved all in for 51,500 and Skhulukhiya, who was slightly covered, made the call.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: Q?10?
Abdullah Akbarpoor: A?10?
Akbarpoor was ahead with ace-high but still had to fade Skhulukhiya's flush and straight draws. The J? turn was a brick but the straight came in for Skhulukhiya on the 9? river and he scored a full double up while Akbarpoor was left with just three big blinds.
Akbarpoor would do an admirable job trying to mount a comeback and did double through Benjamin Hamnett but was ultimatealy eliminated shortly afterwards.
