Schindler and Sklar Chop Big One to End Day 1

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With 96,000 already in the pot, it checked to Richard Sklar in the cutoff on the 86Q flop. Sklar moved in his stack of 41,000, after which Maximilian Schindler rejammed for 179,000 from middle position.

Michael Kamran went into the tank in the hijack as the trio stood up, but he ended up letting his cards go to forfeit a possible share of the pot.

Richard Sklar: AJ1082 All in
Maximilian Schindler: A8763

Sklar made the nut low on the 3 turn, and Schindler confirmed the high when the K river did not improve Sklar. The pot was chopped, while Kamran tabled his folded AJJ52 upon Sklar's request.
