Altar Scores Double Knockout

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The cutoff was already all in when action was joined. There was around 90,000 in the main pot, and a flop of {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Eyyal Altar led out from under the gun for 35,000, getting a call from his opponent on the button. On the {2-Diamonds} turn, Altar moved all in as the big stack. His opponent thought briefly before making the call with the effective stack of around 150,000.

Cutoff: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Button: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Eyyal Altar: {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Altar had the best of it with his trip eights and over 97 percent equity. A queen on the river and the cutoff and button would chop, anything else and Altar would scoop the whole pot. The {6-Diamonds} hit the felt on the river, and Altar's trip eights were still best. He scooped the main and side pots, knocking out both of his opponents in the process.
