Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Victor Paredes from middle position clashed with an opponent in the next seat over from the hijack as his opponent was all-in for approximately 37,000 and at risk.
Opponent: A♣2♣
Victor Paredes: 8♣8♦
Paredes was in front with his pocket eights, as his opponent was hunting for an ace or a favorable board texture as they went to a runout.
The 4♥3♣Q♣ flop gave the hijack plenty to work with, as the hijack flopped a wheel draw as well as a flush draw to go with their ace.
The 7♦ turn did not alter the standings, as Paredes was still in front with his pocket pair.
Paredes would fade his opponent's outs when the 9♠ hit the river.
