Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Tomas Sujeta
Tomas Sujeta

Tomas Sujeta limped in from under the gun with {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Dmitri Dan did the same on the button with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Craig Smith completed his small blind with {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Leendert Marcus opted to check with {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

The flop came {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for all them to check through.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}. Smith checked with the turned lower two pair. Marcus bet 1,200,000 and Sujeta called. Dan did the same but Smith folded.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades} to keep Sujeta ahead with the trip eights. Marcus checked, Sujeta bet 1,200,000 and Dan cut out calling chips and called. Marcus called too to see Sujeta scoop the pot to his own surprise and increase to a huge chip lead.
