Five players went to the flop of 4♣3♦9♥ with around 120,000 already in the middle. According to Tarmo Tammel, Recep Aydemir had raised from early position and received calls from Mustafa Ercan, Shuang Luo, and Gang Zhao before Tammel three-bet to 25,500 on the button. All four players called.
Zhao then bet the flop and Tammel moved all in for 62,500. Aydemir, Ercan, and Luo folded, but Zhao called.
Tarmo Tammel: K♠K♣
Gang Zhao: 8♠8♥
"i had eight-eight also," Aydemir told Zhao after the cards were turned over.
"No," Zhao replied, finding he was already drawing dead. The board ran out 7♥A♣ and Tammel took the pot.
"Eights, tens, sixes," Aydemir said after the hand, pointing to Ercan and Luo and revealing that everyone had a pocket pair.
"I could have ace-king there. I think you have to call," Tammel told Zhao.
