Skampa check-called 56,000 on the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

flop and again on the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

turn. When both players checked the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

river, showdown revealed that Skampa's {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

had been miles ahead of Matias' {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

the whole way, and he took the pot.
