Will Shillibier

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Shortly before play started, Michael Sklenicka was joking with Ryan Riess about how the latter was going to double him up.

Ryan Riess:
Michael Sklenicka:

The board ran out and Riess sent Sklenicka to the rail.

"That's a pretty sick hand," said tablemate Allen Kessler.
