Eights Are Good For Chaoui on Tough Board
Level 13
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Markkos Ladev raised to 125,000 in middle position, Mehdi Chaoui moved all in for 475,000 in the hijack, and Ladev called.
Mehdi Chaoui: 8♦8♠ 
Markkos Ladev: 6♦6♣
Chaoui had Ladev dominated with his eights, and the board ran out K♣9♦10♣Q♠A♣ to earn him a double up.
"Tough to win with eights on that board," tablemate Klemens Roiter said to Chaoui after the hand.
