First Blood to Zegal, Who Extends Chip Lead
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal raised to 2 million from the button with the K♣6♣ and then called when Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 9 million with the 7♠7♥.
The K♠2♣6♥ flop hit Zegal hard with two pair, and he faced a bet of 8 million from Sklenicka. Zegal called and the 2♥ paired the board on the turn.
Sklenicka bet again, this time 4.8 million, and Zegal took his time before just calling.
The 3♦ river changed nothing and Sklenicka slowed down with a check. Zegal thought long and hard before he moved all in, but Sklenicka got away from it by folding his pocket pair.
