Shkolnik Crippled Then Bust

MarcC

Steve Shkolnik

Steve Shkolnik raises it to 20,000 from early position and only finds a caller from chip leader, Jimmy Shultz, in the big blind. The flop comes...

{7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

Shultz leads out for 10,000 and Shkolnik calls so we head to the turn...

{8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

Shultz bets 20,000 this time and Shkolinik calls once more before the river...

{3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

Shultz bets a final 20,000 and Shkolnik calls once more but mucks when he sees Shultz's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

.

The very next hand Shkolnik had most of his stack committed in the big blind so had no choice but to move the rest in. His {6-?}

{6-?}

{4-?}

was no match for Eric Lingren's {10-?}

{10-?}

{10-?}

. He leaves us in 12th place.
