Balilti Makes Eights Work
Level 4

Daniel Balilti raised from under the gun to 1,100 and got one call to his direct left before seeing the flop come down K♣8♠6♥.
Both players checked to see the turn bring out the 5♠.
Balilti thought briefly before putting out a bet for 1,500. His opponent made the call, prompting the dealer to put the K♥ out on the river.
Action checked to showdown and Balilti turned over the Q♣8♣, prompting his opponent to ask, "Why'd you bet the turn there?", signaling the dealer to push the pot in Balilti's direction.
