Skhulukhiya Misses His Bink
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya was forced all in from the big blind, with only 20,000 left in his stack. John Armbrust raised to 100,000 from middle position, vying for the bounty, and all other players made the fold.
Action was paused until the floor gave the green light, and as it was given Skhulukhiya was out of his seat, talking to a friend. Before the cards were revealed, a 8♣9♦6♠ flop was dealt. Armbrust then tabled his hand, and another player at the table showed Skhulukhiya's, which even he had not seen.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: K♣3♦
John Armbrust: A♥J♦
Skhulukhiya was still not aware of the board being run, and the floor let him know just after the K♠ turn hit the felt. A few tablemates celebrated with Skhulukhiya, as he now saw he was in great shape to stay alive. The 8♦ river secured his survival, as hand for hand continued.
