Raising Wild, Calling Light

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

From the button, Tyler Thompson decided to shove for almost 25,000. In the big blind, Cory Skolnik snap-called, with not that many chips behind after his call. Thompson showed {j-Hearts}{7-Spades} and was way behind the {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs} of Skolnik.

The dealer gave a flop {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} then suddenly stopped his action. "Do we need the turn and the river?" she said.

Everybody laughed at this, and after the appearance of an {8-Spades} on the turn and {8-Diamonds} on the river, Thompson was officially eliminated.

After the hand, Skolnik commented, "You know, I felt that he was shoving too wild, and that my hand was not so bad."
