Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Samuel Ju called from the hijack and Jean Lhuillier raised to 9,000 from the button. Ju called.

The flop came and Ju checked to Lhuillier, who bet 12,500. Ju then min-raised to 25,000. After asking to see his opponent's chips and deliberating for about 60 seconds, Lhuillier shoved all in and Ju snapped him off.

Samuel Ju:
Jean Lhuillier:

Lhuillier had the best of it as both players opted to play for a pot of over 200,000 chips with a pair of eights.

The turn was no help to Ju and the had him tapping the table and saying "good game" as Lhuillier would take his time counting his newly-acquired stack worth nearly a quarter of a million.
