On blinds of 3,000/6,000/6,000, action folded around to the button and Robert French opened to 18,000. John Skrovan moved all-in from the big blind for 73,000 effective and French snap-called.
French: A♣J♣
Skrovan: K♥6♥ (all-in)
Board: T♥7♥2♠3♥2♦
Skrovan was beginning his exit even after the flop delivered a flush draw for him. The 3♥ on the turn kept him in his seat as he turned his king-high flush.
Skrovan: 155,000
French: 237,000
43 players remain. Hand-for-hand will begin when 34 players are left.
