Sklenicka Hero-Calls Pidun on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Michael Sklenicka and Daniel Pidun built a pot of around 240,000 as they went heads-up to the 8♥7♠J♣ flop. Both players checked and the 6♥ fell on the turn.
Sklenicka then led out for 120,000 from the small blind and Pidun called on the button. The river was the K♣ and Sklenicka then bet 122,000.
Pidun came back with a raise to 430,000, sending Sklenicka into the tank. He took around two minutes before calling, and Pidun showed A♦10♠ for ace-high. Sklenicka turned over J♠10♥ for a pair of jacks to win the massive pot.
"Very nice hand. Lucky, lucky," tablemate Lulei Hu said to Sklenicka after the hand.
