Eight Bao, Corner Pocket
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Aaron McEvoy opened to 4,500 and Bao Huynh moved all in for around 53,000, causing action to fold around.
When it got back to McEvoy, he quickly tossed in a call to put the shorter stack at risk.
Bao Huynh: 8♣8♦
Aaron McEvoy: 10♣10♥
Huynh would need some help to stay alive, and he sure got it on the A♠7♦4♦8♠9♥ runout as he made a set of eights on the turn. He was shipped the pot for the double while McEvoy was left shaking his head.
