Skripka Gets Shovey
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
It folded around to Peter Skripka in the small blind, who promptly raised to 1.1 million, with a mere 30,000 behind. Roberto Romanello in the big blind tanked up for some time.
"Im gonna put you all in with minimum king ten," he said.
"Come on," said Sripka.
"Now I know king ten is good," decided Romanello. "Will you show if I fold?"
"No."
Still Romanello folded, and Skripka showed him anyway.
Next hand, Marcin Horecki raised to 165,000 under the gun and Skripka shoved, this time from the button, and for actually his whole stack. Emilliano Bono in teh big blind looked as though he was considering it but ultimately didn't bother; Horecki folded too and Skripka edged back up to around 1.5 million.
