Sklenicka Pays Ionescu
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Kees van Brugge opened to 1,000 from under the gun and Michael Sklenicka called from the hijack. Petre Ionescu also called on the button, taking the players three-ways to the flop.
The 4♠6♣J♥ was checked to Ionescu who bet 1,500. Both players called to see the 9♦ turn.
Action checked to Ionescu again, who bet 3,500 and only Sklenicka called.
The 3♦ river prompted Sklenicka to check and Ionescu to move in 12,000 into the middle. Sklenicka paused, but made the call and mucked his hand after Ionescu showed A♠J♦ for a pair of jacks.
