A Small Pair is Good Enough for Sklenicka

Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Recent EPT Cyprus Eureka Main Event champion Leo Worthington-Leese raised to 300 from the cutoff. Both players in the blinds called.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦6♥8♣ which was checked by all three players. On the 2♦ however, Andy Black in the big blind bet 500. Worthington-Leese folded, but Michael Sklenicka in the small blind check-raised to 2,200. Black called.
The 8♠ brought no more action and Sklenicka flipped over K♦6♦ for a pair to scoop the pot.
