Flush Over Flush Ends Sklenicka's Tournament

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Michael Sklenicka raised to 1,100 under the gun before Simon Wilson three-bet to 3,300 from middle position. When it folded back to Sklenicka, he called.

Sklenicka checked the J108 flop and Wilson put out a continuation-bet of 2,300. Sklenicka check-raised to 7,700 and Wilson called.

Sklenicka bet 12,600 when the 3 came on the turn, and Wilson called again.

Upon seeing the J fall on the river, Sklenicka shoved for around 29,000. Wilson had Sklenicka barely covered and after doing a bit of inventory, he put in the call.

Sklenicka showed 54 for a flopped flush, but he lost and was eliminated to the K6 of Wilson for a higher flush.

At another table Sean McCann was seen leaving his seat and has been eliminated from the tournament.
