Skrbic Takes a Hit as Tomas Picks Off a Bluff
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A pot of around 45,000 was already in the middle as chip leader Milos Skrbic and fellow big stack Joao Tomas went to the river on a board of 9♥10♣4♠7♦A♦.
Skrbic, in the cutoff, then bet 40,000. Tomas tanked for nearly two minutes in the small blind before tossing a chip in the middle to signify a call.
Skrbic instantly mucked his hand and Tomas took the pot without a showdown. Despite losing that pot, Skrbic was still left with nearly 500,000, while Tomas climbed over 300,000.
