Giorgiy Skhulukhiya limp-called a raise by table neighbor Fabian Gumz and check-called a bet on the flop to create a pot of around 24,000 to the turn. Skhulukhiya checked once again and Gumz now bet 10,000. A check-shove by Skhulukhiya for 29,900 followed and Gumz reluctantly folded.

Not long ago, the runner-up of the 2019 EPT Open Sochi Main Event was down to a mere six big blinds and Skhulukhiya is now nearly even in chips with Gumz.
