Bland Spikes an Eight
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Anthony Bland open-shoved in middle position for 100,000 and was called by Guillermo Castillo on the button who had the covering stack.
Anthony Bland: A♥8♣
Guillermo Castillo: A♦K♣
The flop came Q♠9♥10♦ with Castillo still far out in the lead. That was until the 8♥ fell on the turn, with Bland pairing his eight.
The Q♣ on the river offered no help to Castillo and the pot was pushed Bland's way.
