"Not Like This!" - Sklenicka Falls to Lupascu
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Matei Lupascu opened to 40,000 from the button and Michael Sklenicka raised to 235,000 from the small blind, leaving around 90,000 behind. Lupascu moved all in with a covering stack and Sklenicka burned through a few time extensions before calling off with the rest of his chips.
Michael Sklenicka: 3♣3♦ 
Matei Lupascu: A♦Q♦
Sklenicka was ahead on the 9♠7♣9♥ flop and 4♣ turn but the 4♥ river counterfeited his pocket pair giving Lupascu the winning hand at showdown.
"Not like this!" Sklenicka exclaimed before wishing his opponents good luck and making his exit while Lupascu took the pot.
