Shi's Pocket Pair Holds

Tyler Boyer

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

John Machen raised to 400 under the gun, before Daniel Daconti three-bet to 1,000 in the cutoff. Honghao Shi called in the big blind, as did Machen.

After the 3♣3♠6♣ flop, it checked to Daconti who bet out 1,500. Shi called, and Machen folded.

Both players checked after the K♠ turn, and 5♣ river.

Daconti announced "ace high", and Shi tabled 8♦8♣ for a pair of eights to take the pot.
