Eight is Good For Aoki
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mikiyo Aoki raised to 100,000 in the hijack and Dave Ouellette called in the big blind.
Both players checked the Q♦7♦8♥ flop. Aoki then bet 60,000 on the Q♠ turn, Ouellette raised to 150,000, and Aoki called.
Both players checked the 9♦ river and Ouellette shook his head. He was reluctant to show his cards, but Aoki patiently waited for him to turn over A♥3♥. She then revealed K♥8♠ to win the pot with two pair.
