Skrbic Runs Queens into Malec's Aces Early On

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Milos Skrbic
Milos Skrbic

Sebastian Malec from under the gun and Milos Skrbic from the next seat played out a pot which left the latter at risk preflop for his stack of around 150,000.

Milos Skrbic: Q♥Q♣ All in
Sebastian Malec: A♥A♦

Skrbic had picked up a premium, but it wasn't quite good enough as his pocket queens were crushed by the aces of Malec. The flop of 5♣4♣5♥ offered no help to Skrbic, but he did pick up a flush draw on the K♣ turn, which peaked his interest in the pot. However, the 10♥ river wasn't the card he needed, and he was the first player to hit he rail on Day 3.
