Skrbic Runs Huge Bluff On First Hand Of Heads-Up Play
With action on Milos Skrbic, he made it 1,200,000 with 
and Arsenii Karmatckii called with 
.
The flop came 
and Skrbic bet 600,000 in flow after the check from Karmatckii, who then made the call.
To a turn of 
and Karmatckii checked once more. The Serbian player fired 4,000,000 but Karmatckii was going no where and he made the call to set up a river.
A 
river was a brick for Skrbic, as he missed he straight draw, flush draw and didn't pair his ace. It didn't stop him though, after the Russian player checked, Skrbic played a time extension card, thinking for a minute before announced he was all in for 19,625,000 chips.
With action back on Karmatckii, if he called the tournament would be over and he would be the winner. He did not, though. Karmatckii mucked his pair of kings and awarded the pot to Skrbic.
