That’s exactly what Michael Sklenicka pulled off at the $10,400 Wynn Summer Classic Championship, where he won the $2,339,200 top prize thanks to one of the wildest final hands you’re ever likely to see.
With three players remaining, Sklenicka held a big chip lead with around 60,000,000 chips. He moved all in from the button holding 8♠7♣. In the small blind, Jun Obara picked up K♠K♦and called off his stack of just under 10 million. From the big blind, Daniel Rezaei looked down at 10♦10♣, thought it over, and called off his final five million to set up a massive three-way all-in.

The flop came K♥8♦7♥, putting Obara as the huge favorite with top set. According to the PokerNews equity calculator, Obara’s chances of winning the hand stood at 96.12%.
The turn brought the 8♥, improving Obara and Sklenicka to full houses and confirming Rezaei’s elimination in third place. But Sklenicka was still drawing live to the case eight for quads.
Sklenicka called for an eight ahead of the dealer completing the board and remarkbly the 8♣peeled off on the river, completing the four-of-a-kind for Sklenicka to seal the Championship victory.

The Wynn Summer Classic has quickly become a staple of the summer poker calendar, offering players major buy-in events outside of the World Series of Poker. This year’s $10,400 Championship attracted 1,537 entries, and smashed the $10 million guarantee by generating a prize pool of $15,062,600 — but for Sklenicka — he had ear-marked the top prize in his mind a few days ago.
"Two days ago I couldn't sleep because it was like 80 left at the start of the day and I just couldn't sleep because I was so excited to get the job done," Sklenicka told PokerNews. "I knew I was going to win. I told everyone I'm winning this."
"I had no doubts. I've worked on my game for like 15 years so it was kind of easy for me because I've been doing it for so long."
"The dealer did his job," he said about his winning hand. "K-7-8 flop, not in great shape, you need runner-runner. Turn is an eight and I knew it was done. When the turn is an eight, it's one out but for me, it's like 100% it's going to come."
For Sklenicka, the win marks the biggest cash of his career and pushes his lifetime live tournament earnings past $5 million, according to The Hendon Mob. It also serves as a form of redemption for the Czech player, who finished runner-up in the inaugural WSOP Paradise Main Event in December 2023 for $1.2 million. On that occasion, Stanislav Zegal claimed the title and $2 million top prize.
