Peacock Has the Better Eight
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Art Peacock raised to 80,000 on the button and Niall Costigan called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠8♥5♥ and Peacock bet 100,000. Costigan called to the 3♦ turn, where he led out for 180,000. Peacock called.
The 6♣ river was checked down, and Costigan showed 9♣8♦ for a pair of eights. Peacock, though, had Q♦8♠ and took the pot with his queen-kicker.
