Shi's Pocket Pair Holds
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
John Machen raised to 400 under the gun, before Daniel Daconti three-bet to 1,000 in the cutoff. Honghao Shi called in the big blind, as did Machen.
After the 3♣3♠6♣ flop, it checked to Daconti who bet out 1,500. Shi called, and Machen folded.
Both players checked after the K♠ turn, and 5♣ river.
Daconti announced "ace high", and Shi tabled 8♦8♣ for a pair of eights to take the pot.
