Steuer Scoops With Three Eights

Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in early position called and in the hijack a player raised to 1,000 which Nathan Steuer called in the small blind and the early position player called as well.

On a flop of Q♣8♠8♥, through various bets, all players were all in with cards on their backs in a pot that ballooned to over 65,000.

Early position: K♣Q♦
Hijack: A♣A♦
Nathan Steuer: J♥8♦

The board ran out 6♠7♥ and Steuer's three eights were good to take down the full pot and the former RGPS Council Bluffs Main Event champion scooped the pot.
