Skonieczny Out Pips Ladny

Eric Ladny opened from the cutoff before Chase Skonieczny opted to go all-in from the big blind. Ladny called and put himself at risk for 33,000.

Eric Ladny: 8♣8♥ All in
Chase Skonieczny: 9♥9♣

Skonieczny held the significant lead as they went to a runout with the higher pocket pair.

Ladny found no solace on the K♦J♣Q♥ flop as Skonieczny maintained his lead.

The 4♣ turn was of no use to either player.

Skonieczny would improve to a set of nines on the 9♠ river, eliminating Ladny in the process.

Ladny bought in for a fresh stack to get back in the tournament.
