Kudzmanas Makes Skalak Fold
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
The board read 8♥6♦5♥4♥10♠ and there was about 8,500 in the middle already when small blind Voitech Skalak checked to Marius Kudzmanas in the hijack. Kudzmanas put in two blue 5,000 chips which were enough to put Skalak all in for his remaining 5,300 but instead of calling he opted to fold and let go of his hand.
Kudzmanas is familiar with success here in Prague. The poker player from Lithuania barely missed out on a trophy when he finished second in the €10,300 EPT High Roller at the 2022 EPT Prague.
