Lucero Building a Stack

Bob McWilliams raised to 1,200 in the cutoff and was three-bet by Frank Lucero on the button to 3,600. McWilliams made the call.

The flop came 8♥J♦7♦ and McWilliams check-called a bet of 4,000 from Lucero.

The turn landed the 10♠, slowing down the action. Both players checked to the 10♥ river.

McWilliams checked again and Lucero sized up with a bet of 13,000. McWilliams thought for a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.

Lucero flashed pocket eights as he dragged in the pot.
