Pocket Eights Good for Mattsson
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Three players created a pot of about 100,000, and the 7♦5♦2♣5♠ turn was already on the felt. The action was checked to Simon Mattsson who fired a bet of 25,000, and only Alexandre Reard made the call.
The 9♣ landed on the river, and both players tapped the table. Reard rolled over 6♠6♣ before seeing it was no good as Mattsson tabled 8♠8♣.
