Ostergaard Rolls a Gutterball on Scekic

Generally speaking, moving all in with the third nuts on a board of {A-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} is going to net you the pot more often than it doesn't. But that wasn't the case for Jovan Scekic. He showed pocket aces for a flopped set of aces and was dismayed to see his opponent, Ken Ostergaard, turn over pocket fives for a wheel and the second nuts. Scekic needed a board pair on the river and didn't get it when the river fell {9-?}.

He's not eliminated though; Ostergaard had taken some early hits and as a result only had about 12,000 chips in his stack at the start of the hand. Ostergaard now has 24,000 and Scekic has slipped to 9,000.
