Eights Back to Back for Collins Sends Him Home

Kevin Taylor
Kevin Taylor

Robert Hampton was all in preflop holding {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} against the {8-}{8-} of Francis Collins. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Spades} to double up Hampton and cripple Collins.

A couple of hands later, the short stack Collins moved all in holding {8-}{8-} again. This time he was up against the {a-}{j-} of his opponent and was also unable to win this race.
