Skaggs Skates into the Chip Lead
Nível 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Thomas Skaggs raised pot on the button, and when he faced a re-pot from David Hu, Skaggs reluctantly put in the call.
Thomas Skaggs: A♠K♦4♠3♦
David Hu: A♦Q♦Q♣7♥
Hu seemed in a good spot to take a commanding lead if his pair of queens could hold. Skaggs' immediate outs were a king or an ace.
The wheel spun, 9♠3♣4♥ pairing both of Skaggs' previously unpaired cards. The turn was a brick in the form of the [the], and when the 6♣ peeled off on the river, Hu had to explain to his rail that he had lost a flip.
