Action!

We missed the action before the flop, but we walked up to a big pot brewing as the dealer spread out a flop of {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. The two blinds checked, and Jan Skampa put out a bet of 8,400. Harsukhpaul Sangha called from the small blind, but John Nguyen snuck in a check-raise to 23,000 total. The action was back on Skampa now, and he moved all in for about 60,000. Not to be outdone, Sangha shoved over the top for about 100,000 total, and Nguyen got the message and ducked out of the way. With Skampa at risk, the cards were on their backs:

Sangha: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} (top set)
Skampa: {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} (oops, four outs)

The turn {6-Hearts} was not the jack Skampa was looking for, and neither was the {2-Clubs} on fifth street. Unable to find his out cards, Skampa has been sent to the rail, and Sangha shoots himself all the way up over 200,000 in chips.
