Backus Shows Down a Set
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With around 5,000 in the pot on a board of 7♣3♣Q♣8♠, a player in the cutoff bet 3,400 and Bill Backus called on the button.
The river was the A♦ and the cutoff bet another 5,200. Backus again called, and the cutoff showed A♣2♥ for a pair of aces. Backus, though, had 8♦8♣ for a set of eights to win the pot.
