Eights Over Draws
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A player limped in middle position and all players from the hijack to the big blind followed him to see the flop 5♣Q♥Q♠.
There was no more action on this street, as everybody checked. On the turn 3♠, the middle position player bet 1,000. The hijack gave his cards back to the dealer, but Marvin Gousac in the cutoff called as well as Marta Hilworth on the button.
Everybody checked once more on the river A♥ and they all flipped their cards:
Middle position: 7♣4♣
Marvin Gousac: 8♥8♦
Marta Hilworth: 9♠7♠
The middle position player tried to hide his hand but was forced to reveal it. "I have a missed straight draw," he said. Hilworth's flush draw didn't come in either, so the pot went into Gousac's hands thanks to his pocket eights.
