Derwiche Bemused at Win With Eight-High

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Imad Derwiche opened to 1,100 and Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 3,300. Derwiche called and check-called 6,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and Derwiche check-called 10,500. The river was the {q-Spades} and both players checked.

Derwiche rolled his eyes and lifted his cards up before tabling {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for eight-high. Thorel looked up before throwing his cards face down into the muck.

There was a moment of confusion as the dealer started to shuffle the cards, with Derwiche quickly gathering in his chips.

"He had eight-high," a tablemate said to Thorel, and all the Frenchman could do is shake his head.
