Eights are Good for JJProdigy

"JJProdigy"
"JJProdigy"
This hand is brought to you courtesy of Sorel Mizzi, an outstanding player in his own right, and apparently, Josh "JJProdigy" Field's new publicist. He relayed this hand to us brimming with excitement like a proud big brother.

An early position player raised to 900 and Field called from the big blind. The flop was J-9-5 with two diamonds. Field checked, the EP player bet out 1,000 and Field called. The turn was an offsuit 4. Field checked again, the EP player bet 2,500 and Field called. The river was the {10-Diamonds}, putting a possible straight and flush on the board. Field checked a third time, the EP player bet out 7,000 and Field made the call.

Field turned over pocket eights and his opponent mucked. JJProdigy dragged the monster pot and with that read, increased his stack to just over 42,000.
