Eights Good Enough for Khalili
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
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.
