Skripchenk-Out
Level 4
: 150/300, 0 ante
Almira Skripchenko is down to 18,000 after running her pocket queens into another player's pocket kings. We're not sure exactly when the chip went in - the board read by the end when we got there - but we ascertained from the table chat afterwards that her opponent had played it a little sneakily, just flat-calling Skripchenko's raise preflop. The other player doubled to 35,000, effectively bisecting Skripchenko's stack.

Ms. Skripchenko has just appeared in the press corner, sighing that the very next hand she ran a flush into the same player's quads. Ouch. GG, Almira.
