Shimizu Shows a Better Eight
Level 22
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised under-the-gun and Daniel Idema defended from the big blind.
Idema check-called a bet from Shimizu on the 9♠6♦4♦ flop and then led out for a bet on the 8♥ turn. Shimizu called.
Idema bet again on the K♠ river and Shimizu called.
Idema tabled 8♣7♥ for a pair of eights, but Shimizu held Q♦8♦ for eights with a better kicker and he collected the pot.
