Sklansky-out.jpgATLANTIC CITY, NJ--David Sklansky has left the building. Beginning the tournament with a little over 600,000 chips, Sklansky worked his way back to 3.2 million. He pushed it all in with fives against Chris McCormack who called with 10s. The board came 8-10-8-4-K giving McCormack a full house and an opportunity to face Mark Newhouse heads up at the Borgata Final Table. Sklansky leaves with third place and $419,040.

Chris McCormack (bottom right) has 9,715,000 chips and Mark Newhouse (bottom left) has 4,350,000.

change100, using this photo I think you could write a thesis on how knowledge of poker takes up the part of the brain that controls fashion choices.

Funny April, as I was posting this I wondered what our PokerBlog fashionista, Change 100, would say about Sklansky's shirt.

I'm thinking he should've splurged and gone with the glow-in-the-dark version.
