Eight Good for Swartz

Daniel Swartz opened 50,000 from middle position and John Richards three-bet 166,000 in the small blind. Swartz made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♠8♠3♣ and Richards flung a bet across the line.

"I felt like he was going to bet 125,000. Is that 125,000?" Swartz asked the dealer.

It indeed was, and Swartz made the call.

The 8♣ turn and J♥ river were checked down and Swartz announced 'eight' as he tabled A♥9♠8♥5♠. Richards mucked his hand.
