Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante
Daniel Neilson opened to 3.3 million on the button with a fraction of that behind and Michael Sklenicka came along in the blinds with Stanislav Zegal.
Sklenicka led out for 4.2 million on the flop of 10♦9♦J♣ and Neilson called off for his last 600,000. Zegal folded and the cards were turned up.
Daniel Neilson: 7♠4♠
Michael Sklenicka: 10♠9♣
Neilson had run into two pair and needed to hit an eight to make a straight and stay alive.
He couldn't do it as the board ran out Q♥5♣ to mark his elimination in third place for $900,000.
