Former Champion Is Done and Dusted
Jan Skampa won this event back in Season 6, but his hopes of capturing the title for a second time came to an end courtesy of Souheil Mansour.
In the hand, William Davis limped from early position only to have Skampa three-bet to 2,700 right behind. Mansour then called from the button, Davis folded, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Skampa was first to act and led out for 4,500, which inspired Mansour to raise to 17,000.
Skampa thought long and hard before gently placing in a call, and then he checked the 
turn. Mansour wasted little time in spiking out a bet of 22,400, and a few moments later Skampa moved all in for right around 35,000. Mansour, who barely had him covered, snap-called.
Showdown

Skampa: 
Skampa discovered the bad news��that he was drawing dead��and made a hasty exit from the tournament floor after the meaningless 
was put out on the river.
