Skarparis' Ace Gets Exposed
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Georgios Skarparis was receiving his cards from the dealer and unfortunately for him, the A? was exposed and was swapped out for another card. A player in early position then made it 2,500 and despite losing an ace, Skarparis called. Renars Skanis then squeezed to 8,000, which only Skarparis called.
On the A?6?7? flop, Skarparis checked and Skanis fired a small continuation-bet, which got Skarparis to fold. Skarparis then revealed K?Q? and said he would have been dealt Big Slick if he had kept the ace. Skanis showed J?J?, which suggests they might gave gotten the chips in preflop.
Despite that, Skarparis was still in good spirits and sits with around 170,000 at the midway point of the day.
