Duta’s Full House Sends Sklenicka Packing

Florian Duta initiated the action with a raise to 40,000 from middle position, prompting a call from Vivian Saliba. However, the real drama unfolded when Michael Sklenicka pushed all-in for 340,000. Duta didn’t hesitate and quickly called, while Saliba swiftly folded her hand, leaving the two players to face off in a showdown.

Sklenicka revealed J♦J♣, hoping for a jack to improve his situation, while Duta showed K♠K♦. As the dealer fanned the flop, the cards revealed 6♣K♥6♦, giving Duta a powerful full house. Sklenicka’s hopes dwindled, and despite calling for a jack, the Q♥ on the turn and the 10♠ on the river did nothing to help his cause. With no winning hand in sight, Sklenicka was eliminated from the tournament.
