"Easty" Likes His Eights
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
S.S. limped in from the small blind, and 888poker streamer Nick Eastwood raised to 700 in the big blind. S.S. responded with a three-bet to 2,800, which Eastwood called.
Both players went on to check the K♠A♣Q♦ flop, prompting S.S. to fire a small bet of 1,000 on the K♥ turn. Eastwood called after some thought, seeing his opponent bet the same amount on the 8♣ river.
This time, Eastwood raised to 8,800. A quick fold followed from S.S. as Eastwood raked in the early pot. S.S. was left with 150 big blinds, but would bust not much later as the first elimination of the day.
