Ocho for Ajayi

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Scott Stewart raised to 90,000 under the gun and Dapo Ajayi three-bet all in for 865,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Stewart thought for a bit before making the call.

Dapo Ajayi: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Scott Stewart: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

"Ocho," Ajayi requested and the dealer obliged by delivering one on the {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop. Neither the {5-Diamonds} turn nor {10-Diamonds} river changed a thing and Ajayi shipped the double.
