Sklar Doubles Up

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

On the flop of a {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board with about 20,000 in the middle, Richard Sklar bet 12,000 and called a check-raise by his heads-up opponent to 32,000.

The {6-Clubs} hit on the turn and Sklar's opponent slid out a bet covering Sklar's remaining stack and he made the call putting his tourney life on the line.

Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Sklar: {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}

Sklar was ahead with his straight and was able to fade the board pairing on the river to earn the double up.
