Skopalik Leads; Bickley Doubles With Quads
Wai Leong Chan is no longer in the lead as he took a massive blow against Robert Skopalik when he ran with kings into aces. Skopalik had spades covered and turned the nut flush, the ace on the river was already insignificant.
Another interesting hand played out soon after on the same table. In a battle of the blinds, the flop showed 
and Robert Bickley bet 6,000 into 14,000 out of the small blind. Xixiang Luo raised to 13,500 and Bickley clicked it back to 32,000, Luo called. On the 
turn, Bickley moved all in for 59,400 and Luo called after he had asked for a count.
Robert Bickley: 
Xixiang Luo: 
The 
was a formality as Bickley had locked up the double with quads already. One year ago, Bickley finished 4th in the 2017 WSOPE Main Event and will aim for another deep run once more.
