Bakir Hits the Last Eight in the Deck

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of 5822, Ermanno Di Nicola led out for 3,000 from the big blind and Ryan Plant called in early position. Odi Bakir then raised to 6,200 in middle position and Di Nicola called, while Plant got out of the way.

The river was the J and Bakir bet 8,500. Di Nicola quickly called and Bakir turned over 88 for a flopped set of eights that improved to a full house on the turn. Di Nicola flashed the 8 as he gave up the pot.
