New Headphones Courtesy of 888poker

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tournament staff had barely announced a promotion by 888poker that new headphones would be awarded to the first player to hit a full house with three eights involved on the board or in the hand, when the floor was called over to table three in the corner of the Grand Ballroom.

Radu Angel and Aurel Iovan both had hit a full house with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} respectively on a board of {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and the pair posed for a picture before Iovan took over the duties to unpack and put the new Sony headphones to use.
