Hand #105: Skoldstedt raised to 125,000 and Hoang moved all-in. The Swede asked for a count and Hoang was at risk for his last 540,000. Skoldstedt checked his stack carefully, stared at the middle of the board and made the call.

Skoldstedt: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Hoang: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop was somewhat devastating for Hoang as his opponent picked up an additional flush draw with the superior hand. After the {Q-Diamonds} turn, there was a glimmer of hope with the gutshot, but the {8-Clubs} river was of no help and Hoang headed to the payout desk.
