Chen Heating Up with Eights
Level 20
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
George Chen raised from middle position and Eddie Kifarkis defended in the big blind.
The flop came J♠Q♣K♦ and Kifarkis check-called. The 7♦ turn and 3♠ river both went check-check.
When Chen turned over 8♦8♣, the table let out a good chuckle, as Chen had won the previous pot with the same exact hand, including the suits. Kifarkis folded and Chen dragged in the small pot.
