Tsui Smashes Eight to Send Out Sugimoto
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sajad Abud opened 8,000 under the gun and Naho Sugimoto called in the cutoff before Justin Tsui defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 6♥5♦2♥, and Tsui checked to Abud who continued for 9,000. Sugimoto called and Tsui put in a check-raise to 28,000. Abud quickly folded, and Sugimoto called.
When the 5♠ landed on the turn, Tsui pushed a bet of 95,000 across the line and Sugimoto only took a few seconds before calling off her stack of 88,500.
Naho Sugimoto: Q♠Q♦
Justin Tsui: 8♥8♠
Sugimoto was in fantastic shape as she looked to double but the 8♦ river changed that in a hurry as Tsui made a full house.
