While I was counting out his stack after eliminating Madalin Costin, Matthew Skeadas told me about an earlier hand, during which he sent Sho Okoda to the rail in twenty-first place.
Okoda opened to 80,000 on Blinds 20,4000/80,000, and Skeadas defended his Big Blind. Action went check-check on the Q♥2♠2♣ flop. Skeadas checked again on the 10♠ turn, and Okoda dipped his toes in the waters with an 80,000 bet. Skeadas then went over the top with a 250,000 raise, and Okoda responded by moving all in for roughly 400,000. Skeadas made the call without hesitation.
Sho Okoda: A♠Q♣
Matthew Skeadas: 7♦2♦
The 8♥ river didn’t help Okoda, and Skeadas enjoyed knocking out an opponent with the worst starting hand in poker.
