Skerl Drills the Turn to Crack De Paz's Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Dario De Paz raised to 500 from middle position and Sil Damstra three-bet to 1,800 from the cutoff. Marcos Skerl four-bet jammed the button for about 13,000, and only De Paz called.
Marcos Skerl: J♥J♦
Dario De Paz: A♠A♦
Skerl had the lower pair, but picked up some additional outs with a gutshot on the 7♥9♦10♥ flop.
The 8♣ turn provided instant service, completing Skerl's straight and leaving De Paz hoping for a chop. The 10♠ river wasn't any help, however, as Skerl cracked De Paz's aces to double-up to almost the starting stack.
