High Flopped Fives For Skommo

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

One of the bigger stacks coming into today was Orjan Skommo. He had over 120,000 and after a big all in hand he moved up to 160,000.

It happened when he was on the flop of a board of {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Skommo bet out 5,000 into an already inflated pot. Then with the swiftness of a sword the action from Skommo's opponent was a quick "all in" declaration. This prompted an immediate call by Skommo.

Skommo was proud to show his {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set. His opponent had pocket aces {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The turn gave a sweat with the {4-Diamonds}. That gave straight outs for Skommo's opponent, but the river was the {8-Clubs}.

After doing some counting Skommo covered his opponent and started stacking large towers to show his leadership as one of the biggest stacks in the room.
