Sky Falls on Pocket Kings

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

In a confrontation between the blinds, the player in Seat 7 (small blind) was all in on a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} with a quick call from Nicholas"Sky" Skyllas in Seat 8 (big blind). The small blind's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} had been thoroughly cracked by Skyllas' {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, which had slotted perfectly into the flop to make a jack-high straight.

It would take runner-runner to change things and the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave some hope, but the {8-Hearts} on the river sealed the deal. Seat 7 was felted and Skyllas has nearly doubled his starting stack, now playing about 48,000.
