John Smith opened to 8,000 on the button and Weston Mizumoto called.
Mizumoto check-called a 10,000 bet from Smith on the 8♣5♣K♣ flop and then both players checked on the 3♦ turn.
The 8♠ completed the board and Mizumoto took the initiative with a 35,000 bet. Smith called and Mizumoto showed 9♣7♥ for a bluff.
Smith tabled 7♠8♦ for trip eights and collected the pot.
On the other end of the table, Matthew Wantman and Darius Samual have been battling back and forth with neither player gaining a significant edge thus far.
