Eights Good Enough for Khalili

Alfonso Timoteo opened to 1,000 from early position and action folded around to Sohale Khalili in the big blind, who tossed in the call.

Khalili checked the 3♥2♠2♣ flop and called after Timoteo continued for 800. Both players then checked the Q♥ turn.

The dealer completed the board with the Q♦ river, and Khalili led out for 3,000. Timoteo gave it some thought and made the call.

Khalili showed 8♠8♦ for two pair, enough to claim the pot as Timoteo mucked.
