"I Should Have Checked the Flop"

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

In a limped pot in a battle of the blinds, Michael Sklenicka bet the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop for 175,000, and Scott Stewart called in the big blind. The {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and Sklenicka made it 500,000 to go, throwing in one of his four "frisbees." Stewart called again to see the {2-Hearts} appear on the river. Sklenicka grabbed his other three T500,000 chips and bet 1,500,000, which sent Stewart into the think tank. Ultimately, he called.

Sklenicka sheepishly turned over {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, while Stewart claimed the pot with {A-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

"I should have checked the flop," Sklenicka added with a grin on the face.

Jonas Mackoff and Alexandre Reard remain the two short stacks over on Table 724.
