Skaggs Continues His Spiral
At one point earlier in the tournament Thomas Skaggs took a commanding chip lead and left Satar Al-Sadoun nearly out of contention but for the past two levels it seems he's been unable to win a pot.
Hand 1:
On a river reading K♣10♠3♦4♠K♦, he bet 1,000,000 only to be called by the K♠J♣7♦6♠, who made a flush in combination with the boat blocker.
Hand 2:
Skaggs raised on the button to 400,000 and soon faced a raise from Yusuke Tanaka to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Skagg folded.
Hand 3:
Skaggs limped in middle position and was faced with a raise to 900,000 from Al-Sadoun. Skaggs made the call and the saw a flop of K♦2♠5♥. Skagg checked and Al-Sadoun wagered a cool 1,000,000, which garnered a fold.
Skaggs also defended a couple hands in the big blind but was unable to ever end up at showdown or rake a pot.
