Mouron's Trip Eights Just Enough

Jazzar Mouron
Jazzar Mouron
Jazzar Mouron opened the pot with a raise before an opponent further down the line moved all in for 17,675. When it came back to Mouron, he paused for a moment while the dealer began to count down the all-in stack, and he would eventually flick the calling chips into the pot to put his opponent in danger of being eliminated.

Showdown
At-risk Player: {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}
Mouron: {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}

It was no fun for the player at risk, and it would only get worse as the dealer ran a flop of {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {K-Hearts}. The {7-Spades} on the turn was useful, but he would need to find the last seven in the deck to stay alive. The {Q-Diamonds} on the river was indeed not a seven, and Mouron has sent another player off to the rail. After adding those chips to his own stack, Jazzar is up dangerously close to the century mark, sitting now with 98,000.
