button in SafariHarsar Sends Skoieczny Out
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 1,500 ante
James Bucaro opened to 7,000 from the hijack before Herbert Harsar called on the button. Chase Skonieczny stacked up his chips and pushed them toward the middle as he went all-in for 30,000 from the small blind.
Bucaro folded, but Harsar made the call and put Skonieczny at risk.
Chase Skonieczny: K♠Q♦
Herbert Harsar: A♣8♥
It was a fair fight as they went to a runout. The flop paired up Harsar when it came 5♠6♣8♥, but it did not significantly change Skonieczny's prospects, as he still needed to spike a king or queen to stay in the tournament.
The turn made the flop hurt a lot more when Harsar improved to trip eights on the 8♠ turn.
Skonieczny was drawing dead as the 3♠ peeled on the river as Harsar dragged in the chips.
