McCauley Collects All the Eights to Bust Shingala
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a heads-up flop of 3♦8♠7♥, Christopher McCauley check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vivek Shingala to see the 8♣ peel off on the turn.
McCauley checked again, and Shingala continued for 9,500, which Mcauley called after some pause. The river fell the 7♠, double-pairing the board and McCauley checked once more. Shingala then downbet to 6,000, to which McCauley responded by putting him all in. Shingala thought about it for a second but made the call and tabled A♠A♣ for top two-pair, but it was no match for McCauley's quads with 8♥8♦.
Mcaulety was awarded the pot to boost him up to over 70,000 while Shingala was sent to the rail.
