Nam Le Catches Up on the Turn

A player under the gun raised, a middle-position player reraised, and then Nam Le raised again. The first player folded and the middle-position player called.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}. The player bet, Le raised, the player raised all in, and then Le called. Nam held pocket eights and was behind on the flop to his opponent's {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}.

Nam was able to have some good fortune and spike a third eight on the turn, the {8-Clubs}. The river was the {4-Hearts} and Le sent the player home with his full house.

Nam Le is up to 3,500.
