Dielmann's Pocket Eights Hold Firm
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Dennis Dielmann opened the action with a raise from early position, and Ankit Ahuja responded with a three-bet to 3,100 from the hijack, which Dielmann called.
The flop came 7♥3♣6♦, and Dielmann check-called Ahuja's continuation bet of 1,500.
Both players then checked the 4♦ turn and the 7♣ river. Dielmann revealed 8♥8♦ for an overpair, enough to make Ahuja muck his cards without further contest.
