Sklar Rivers the Scooper to Double

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Richard Sklar from early position and Naoya Kihara from the button were heads-up to a 833 flop. All of the chips found their way into the middle, with Sklar the effective stack for 265,000 total, including the preflop bet.

Richard Sklar: A962 All in
Naoya Kihara: A874

Sklar was drawing to the nut low, while Kihara had the nut flush draw with top pair. The 7 turn completed the low, and the 9 river gave Sklar top pair, as he went runner-runner to scoop each side of the pot.

Kihara's stack becomes short as he chases yet another bracelet in a $10,000 Championship event this summer.
