Yi Ye opened to 260,000 first to act and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya called on the button. Natalia Panchenko jammed the big blind for 1,600,000 and Ye reluctantly folded. Skhulukhiya asked for a count and made the call.

Natalia Panchenko:
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya:

There were some groans on the rail when Skhulukhiya took the lead on the flop, but Panchenko was all smiles when the turn locked up her double. A meaningless followed on the river and Panchenko was right back in contention.
