Even Steven
Hooman Nikzad opened with a raise from the button and Ian Johns called. The flop fell 

and Johns checked to Nikzad who continued out. Johns called and both players checked the
turn and the
river.
Nikzad tabled 
for a rivered pair of eights, allowing him to scoop the pot. The players are about even in chips now.
