Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Stephen Garland limped in from the hijack and Neil McCabe Smith raised to 700 from the button. Vasco Morgado called from the big blind and Smith called as well.
All three players checked the K♦10♥8♠ flp leading to the 7♥ turn. Morgado bet 800, Garland called and Smith folded.
Both players checked the 10♣ river. Garland had missed with A♠J♥ while Morgado showed down 8♥7♣ for tens and eights which was good at showdown.
"Three pair. He gets a bonus" Garland joked as Morgado scooped the pot.
