Staszko Grabs the First One

The action folded to Martin Staszko who raised to 400,000 from the small blind. John Hewitt defended his big, and the flop fell {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Both players checked. The turn was another queen - the {q-Clubs} - and both players knuckled again.

The river was the {4-Clubs}, and Staszko led for 475,000. Hewitt called, and mucked when Martin Staszko tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for queens and eights with an ace kicker.
