Sklenicka Slayed by Timko
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Lukas Timko opened to 20,000 from the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 70,000 from Ian Simpson in the cutoff.
Michael Sklenicka was in the small blind, and he took a bit of time for thought, before four-bet jamming for 281,000. Timko called with the slightly covering stack, and Simpson folded.
Michael Sklenicka: Q♣Q♦ 
Lukas Timko: A♦K♦
Sklenicka was ahead in the classic race, but the king was in the window on the K♠J♣J♦ flop. Sklenicka could not find a two-outer on the 3♥ turn or J♠ river, and he gave his opponent a fist bump and wished the table well as he departed.
