Skripchenko Chips Up

Almira "ChessBaby" Skripchenko and three other players limped into the pot pre-flop before the dealer spread the flop of {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The two players in early position checked to an opponent in middle position who bet 150; Skripchenko flat-called from the hijack and the others got out of the way before the {Q-Clubs} came down on the turn.

The player snap-shoved and Skripchenko insta-called, tabling {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, outkicking her opponent's {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Finding himself behind the eight-ball, Skripchenko's opponent was scratched after she improved to two pair with the river of the {K-Spades}.
