Runcan's Eights Good at Showdown
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Pedro Marques made it 400,000 from the button with Q♣10♥ and Paul Runcan called on the button holding 10♠8♣.
They saw a flop of 3♠5♦8♥ where Runcan led out for 200,000 with his pair of eights, and Marques called.
A K♦ on the turn drew a check out of Runcan, then Marques reached for chips and fired 750,000. Runcan wasn't going anywhere, and called.
The 2♠ dropped on the river and both checked it down, with Runcan's pair of eights being good.
