Skrbic Runs Queens into Malec's Aces Early On
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sebastian Malec from under the gun and Milos Skrbic from the next seat played out a pot which left the latter at risk preflop for his stack of around 150,000.
Milos Skrbic: Q?Q? 
Sebastian Malec: A?A?
Skrbic had picked up a premium, but it wasn't quite good enough as his pocket queens were crushed by the aces of Malec. The flop of 5?4?5? offered no help to Skrbic, but he did pick up a flush draw on the K? turn, which peaked his interest in the pot. However, the 10? river wasn't the card he needed, and he was the first player to hit he rail on Day 3.
