Byrraju Squeezes Some Value Out of Phua
Level 8
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Adrian Strobel raised under the gun to 60,000 with Maher Nouira calling from the cutoff, Rahul Byrraju calling on the button, Paul Phua calling out of the small blind, and Orhan Ates defending his big blind.
After four checks on the 6♦3♥3♦ flop, Byrraju tossed out a bet of 100,000, which only Phua called.
Heads-up to the 2♣ turn that checked through for the 8♠ to appear on the river. Phua checked, and Byrraju bet 500,000. Phua went into to the tank for a while, telling Byrraju that he was thinking of calling with ace-high. In the end, Phua made the call.
Byrraju turned over 9♣8♦ for a rivered pair of eights to take the pot, and leave Phua with just 350,000.
