Skeldon Looks Like the Man to Beat

Local player Michael Skeldon has been on an absolute tear today, converting his stack of 2.2 million to more than 9 million during the first four levels of play.

Skeldon crossed the 9 million mark in the very last hand before his one-hour dinner break. Skeldon bet 235,000 into an already healthy pot on a flop, and Ema Zajmovic made the call. She wouldn't quite commit the remaining 900,000 in her stack when she was put to the test on the turn, and Skeldon dragged the pot.
