The Defending Champion Takes a Hit

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

Norway's "fredbulll" raised to 3,000 and called a three-bet to 9,000 by Fraser "BigBlindBets" Russell from one seat over in the cutoff. On a flop of {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, "fredbulll" bet 6,000, Russell raised to 16,725 and called a reraise to 33,000.

The {a-Spades} turn brought a bet of 10,000 by "fredbulll" and a call by Russell and the same action repeated for 15,000 on the {6-Spades} river. "fredbulll" tabled {q-Clubs}{8-Spades} for queens and eights, which won the pot.
