Cirak Off to a Good Start
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
With three players seeing a board of 2♥8♣3♦K♠ and about 5,000 in the middle, Eyemen Essid checked from middle position, Manuel Palazon checked from the hijack and Mahir Cirak checked from the cutoff.
On the 8♦ river Essid bet 1,200. Palazon got out of the way before Cirak snap-called.
Essid had two pair with A♥3♥, but Cirak had trips with 8♠6♠ to take the pot.
