Eights Enough for Joyce
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Toby Joyce opened to 700 from the cutoff and was called by Chris Tran on the button and the player in the small blind.
The flop came 7♠K♠7♣ and it was checked to Joyce, who continued for 700. Tran called and the small blind folded.
Both players then checked down on the 3♣ turn and 8♥ river and Joyce announced, "Eight" as he turned over 9x8x as advertised. Tran couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Joyce.
