Skalak Takes From Orman
Level 17
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The board was down 
, and Leonid Orman was facing a 750,000 bet in the big blind from Vojtech Skalak who was on the button. Orman made the call, and the players saw a 
river card.
Orman tapped the table three times to signal a check and Skalak decided to bet 1.5m into the 2.5m pot. Orman went into the tank as Skalak remained still awaiting his opponent's decision. After a minute had passed, Orman slowly moved his cards towards the dealer and sacrificed the pot to Skalak.
Skalak, who is a former partypoker LIVE Golden Chip promotion winner, moves up to 6,000,000.
