Skarparis' Ace Gets Exposed
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Georgios Skarparis was receiving his cards from the dealer and unfortunately for him, the A♥ was exposed and was swapped out for another card. A player in early position then made it 2,500 and despite losing an ace, Skarparis called. Renars Skanis then squeezed to 8,000, which only Skarparis called.
On the A♠6♠7♦ flop, Skarparis checked and Skanis fired a small continuation-bet, which got Skarparis to fold. Skarparis then revealed K♥Q♥ and said he would have been dealt Big Slick if he had kept the ace. Skanis showed J♥J♠, which suggests they might gave gotten the chips in preflop.
Despite that, Skarparis was still in good spirits and sits with around 170,000 at the midway point of the day.
