Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It all started when Syed Bib limped in from early position. Craig Sklar raised to 5,500 on his direct left, a third player called on the button, and Paris Borden defended his big blind. Bib decided to pop it up, back-raising all in for 81,800, and Sklar called all-in for 48,800. The player on the button also committed his last 23,000 chips, and Borden went into the tank.

He owns the biggest stack in the Signature Room, and has plenty of room to gamble it up, be he decided against it, folding {a-}{8-}.

Bib: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Sklar: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

The short-stacked player was drawing very live, but in the end he was chopped up by the two ace-kings as the flop, turn, and river came {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Bib is up to 97,550, while Sklar chipped up to 64,550.

Borden slipped to 256,000.
