Crazy Eights Lead to a Meystel Victory
Level 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Eldridge raised to 20,000 in early position and was called by Brian Hawkins on his left. Meir Meystel three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and both Eldridge and Hawkins called.
The flop fell 8♠8♥8♦ and Meystel checked to Eldridge who bet 60,000. Hawkins stepped aside but Meystel called to see the 10♦ on the turn.
Meystel checked again and Eldridge tossed in a bet of 150,000. Meystel jammed all in for 367,000 and Eldridge asked for a count before laying his hand down.
