Late Stages Favouring Skrovan
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
John Skrovan has built a lead-challenging stack with 51 players still remaining. His last hand on the table before it broke involved preflop raiser Novica Muskovic.
Muskovic opened for 320000 (the blinds now a steep 60,000/120,000) and Skrovan placed a stack of 800,000 out as a raise. The raise needing to be at least double the bet, this was strictly 40,000 too little; the floor ruled that a full bet had to be made.
On the 
flop, Muskovic led out for 315,000 and Skrovan raised to 800,000. Muskovic folded, saying he had ace-king; Skrovan said he'd held pocket tens.
