Eight Good for Swartz
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Daniel Swartz opened 50,000 from middle position and John Richards three-bet 166,000 in the small blind. Swartz made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♠8♠3♣ and Richards flung a bet across the line.
"I felt like he was going to bet 125,000. Is that 125,000?" Swartz asked the dealer.
It indeed was, and Swartz made the call.
The 8♣ turn and J♥ river were checked down and Swartz announced 'eight' as he tabled A♥9♠8♥5♠. Richards mucked his hand.
