Above the Rim

Also prior to the level change, Philipp Gruissem opened to 8,000 on the button. Jason Somerville defended his big blind, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Somerville check-called what looked like 9,000, and the turn brought the {k-Diamonds}. Somerville checked again, Gruissem tossed out 25,000, and Somerville called.

The river was the {q-Diamonds}, and Somerville checked a third time. Gruissem fired 55,000, and Somerville called. Gruissem tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights, and Somerville mucked claiming to have "ten-eight suited."

"Wow!" Bill Perkins exclaimed at the end of the hand. "You guys are playing so far above the rim!"
