Eights Help South Move North

Level 2

Stud-8

Mike Sexton completed, Cole South raised, Barry Greenstein called, and Sexton came along as well, although dropped out in the face of action on fourth street.

Sexton: ({x-}{x-}) / {4-Hearts}{10-Hearts} — FOLDED
Greenstein: ({x-}{x-}) / {2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
South: ({x-}{x-}) / {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

When South led on fourth with his pair of eights, Greenstein raised and after Sexton folded, South called. South then picked up a third eight on fifth street and bet, with Greenstein calling. But when South bet on sixth street, Greenstein stepped aside.
