Skalsky's Boat is Bigger

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

In an already bloated pot, Ryan Skalsky moved all in for 8,700 from the small blind, and his opponent in the big blind called on the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board. Skalsky held {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for queens full, and his opponent showed the bad luck: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for an underfull.

Ross Survives

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

"East Coast" Mike Ross put in his last 5,100 on a board of {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and an opponent who had checked from early position made what was clearly a crying call after about a minute. Ross turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and had the player with {9-}{9-} crushed. The river was the {7-Diamonds}, and Ross doubled up.

"Better to Be Lucky Than Good" for Lang

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After an early limp, Mike Lang made it 1,200 to go and got two callers, the small blind and the limper. The {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop prompted a couple of checks, and Lang bet 3,000. The small blind called, and the limper jammed for 9,850. Lang thought a bit and reshipped. The small blind got a count but folded.

Lang: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Small blind: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Lang needed help against the two pair, and running {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} gave it to him for jacks up.

"Better to be lucky than good," he said.

Lang booked a pair of runner-up finishes in 2014 on the Mid-States Poker Tour, each worth north of $60,000.

Dosch Outflops Aces

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a {j-}{4-}{6-} flop, a player shoved all in for about 5,000 well over the pot, which contained around 1,500. Brandon Dosch was the only caller, as he had flopped a set on the button with {4-}{4-}, and he had the all-in player's {a-}{a-} crushed. No ace arrived, and Dosch collected the pot.
