Thomas Skaggs raised pot on the button, and when he faced a re-pot from David Hu, Skaggs reluctantly put in the call.
Thomas Skaggs: A♠K♦4♠3♦
David Hu: A♦Q♦Q♣7♥
Hu seemed in a good spot to take a commanding lead if his pair of queens could hold. Skaggs' immediate outs were a king or an ace.
The wheel spun, 9♠3♣4♥ pairing both of Skaggs' previously unpaired cards. The turn was a brick in the form of the [the], and when the 6♣ peeled off on the river, Hu had to explain to his rail that he had lost a flip.

Thomas Skaggs raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind and got called by Satar Al-Sadoun in the big blind; the pair saw a 6♦A♥2♦ flop.

After a minute or two in the tank, Al-Sadoun tossed his cards toward the muck, and Skaggs created more distance between himself and his two remaining opponents.

David Hu started heads-up at quite the chip disadvantage, so it didn't take long for Thomas Skaggs to put him at risk.
David Hu: Q♦9♣7♣7♠
Thomas Skaggs: Q♥6♣5♥3♦
Hu didn't have high hopes for his pair of sevens, but when Skaggs turned up rags sharing the queen and the nine, Hu was in about as good of shape as he could have hoped.
The board ran out 8♦8♣K♦J♠A♥ and Hu's sevens remained good.
Hu then went on to win a couple more small pots, closing the distance between him and his opponent.
