"I'm All In For My Tournament Life For the First Time!"

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Sean Gibson raised to 150,000 from middle position, and Paul Senat called from the cutoff. Michael Sklenicka was in the small blind and moved all in for 2,475,000. Gibson folded, and Senat asked for a count. The dealer counted Sklenicka's stack down, and Senat eventually called.

"I'm all in for my tournament life for the first time!" exclaimed Sklenicka as he tabled {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. It turned out that he was in a coin-flip situation against Senat's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} with the king right in the window, giving Sklenicka the lead. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Senat asked for a jack. Unfortunately for him, the river was the {q-Hearts}, and Sklenicka breathed a sigh of relief after realizing he was safe.
