Skowronek Eliminated by Vlachos After Two Pair Cracked

Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Following an under the gun raise, Ryszard Skowronek called in late position, the small blind called, and Lampros Vlachos called in the big blind.

The flop came 10?6?K? and action folded around to Skowronek, who made it 5,000 to go. Vlachos was the only one to make the call and so two players went to the turn.

The turn came the 8?. Vlachos checked and Skowronek bet 10,500, which Vlachos called.

The river was the A? and Vlachos shoved all in for around a pot sized bet. Skowronek made the call and players flipped their cards.

Skowronek showed K?10? for two pair kings and tens. Vlachos, however, had the better hand, flipping over A?10? for two pair with aces and tens. He won the pot and Skowronek was eliminated.
