Richard Sklar Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,149)

[user46392]

So close, and yet so Sklar

The hand started out four-way, but it was only David Halpern who called Sklar's eventual all-in on 5th street.

Sklar: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

(

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

)
Halpern: {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

(

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

)

Thus we lose Mr Sklar in 9th and are down to our official final table. I'll wager we'll be seeing more of Mr Sklar this Series, though -- particularly if one Mr B. Obama fancies turning up to claim his free main event ticket...
