A Lingering Wound

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

A level or so after losing a huge hand to Tony Sinishtaj - when he folded queens preflop in the face of an all-in play - Igor Skochilo was unable to shake the effects of what he deemed to be a misplayed hand.

"Worst hand of my life..." he told us during a recent pass through the room. "I thought my bet was fifty thousand, not one hundred. I never fold queens there with a third of my chips already out there."

"Just thought they were five thousand chips, it's my fault," he continued, still stuck on a decision that - in his eyes - should have gone down differently.

According to Skochilo, it was none other than Sinishtaj who claimed the last of his chips, when the latter called down an all-in shove for 67,000 with {A-}{10-} and his hand held up over {k-}{q-}. Skochilo is currently playing in Event 17 ($100,000 Guaranteed Big Stack NLHE Re-Entry) with his deep run in the Six-Max event having come to an end, showing that in poker, the game never truly ends.
