El Sayed Can't Beat Eights

From under the gun, Sam El Sayed opened with a raise to 6,500. Noureddine Ziane was in the next seat and flatted before action folded to Guillaume Darcourt in the big blind. He also called and the three players went to the flop.

The first three community cards produced the {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Darcourt checked. El Sayed bet 11,200 and Ziane called. Darcourt folded.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and El Sayed check-called a bet of 10,000 from Ziane to see the {7-Clubs} fall on the river. Both players then checked.

El Sayed couldn't beat the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} that Ziane held and he lost the pot to drop back to 237,000 in chips.
