Minkov Doubles Through Skripkin
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nikola Minkov opened to 24,000 from the cutoff only for Maksim Skripkin to three-bet to 81,000 out of the small blind. The big blind folded to send the action back to Minkov who moved all in for 186,000. Skripkin quickly called with the covering stack to put Minkov at risk.
Nikola Minkov:
Maksim Skripkin:
Minkov had found pocket rockets to set himself up well for a crucial double. The flop did give Skripkin a gutshot but the turn and river completed a clean runout for the aces.
