Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

We caught up with the action in time to see a three-way all in between Jason Newburger and two other opponents.

Newburger: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent 1: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent 2: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

With all three players holding pocket pairs, the second opponent was looking to dodge two eights and two threes as the board fell. Fortunately for Newburger, the flop came {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, flopping him a full house and jetting him out to the lead in this hand. The turn and river bricked out for his opponents, coming {6-Spades} and {Q-Diamonds}, leaving Newburger to scoop a pot that brought him up to 50,000.
