Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With around 1,600 in the middle on a board that read K♦7♥3♠, Michael Sklenicka bet 400 from the cutoff and was met by a check-raise to 1,400 from Mindaugas Kriauciunas out of the big blind. Sklenicka called.

Kriauciunas bet 1,500 upon seeing the K♥ fall on the turn. Sklenicka paused briefly, then called again.

The 9♥ river got a check from Kriauciunas and a bet of 3,600 by Sklenicka. Kriauciunas didn't long to fold his hand and surrender the pot to Sklenicka.

Picking up the action on a board of 9♠K♠J♣K♣7♥ with 13,400 in the pot, Mindaugas Kriauciunas in the cutoff checked, then Leo Lombardozzi in the big blind bet 11,000.

After a few seconds, Kriauciuna raised all-in for a total of 37,800. Lombardozzi went deep into the tank, visibly struggling to make a decision. He eventually made the call.

Mindaugas Kriauciunas: K♦J♦ All in
Leo Lombardozzi: 9♥9♦

Lombardozzi said that very few hands could beat him, and Kriauciunas had one of these hands so he doubled up.
