Martin Wins Battle of the Eights
Level 11
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Christopher Kruk raised under the gun to 6,000 and both JC Tran and Jesse Martin called from the cutoff and button, respectively.
Kruk drew one, and Tran and Martin drew two each. Kruk bet, Tran raised, Martin called, as did Kruk. On the second draw each player took one and action checked through.
The final draw saw each player draw one and then Kruk bet out. Tran folded, but Martin called.
Kruk tabled his 
for a rough-eight, and Martin immediately revealed his 
to scoop the pot.
