Ruiz's Pocket Eights Hold on High Board
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Fernando Banda opened to 700 from the hijack and Luis Miguel Ruiz called in the cutoff. The button and big blind also came along.
The flop fell 5♠6♦K♦ and action checked around to Ruiz, who bet 700. Only the big blind decided to continue.
Both players checked the remaining streets, the 3♦ turn and the A♥ river. The big blind showed 7♠6♥, but Ruiz tabled 8♥8♣, which was enough to earn him the pot of nearly 5,000 chips.
