Bhalla's Eights Hold, Eliminates Ishizu
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tetsuma Ishizu jammed all-in from under the gun and immediately got called by the man on his left, Eshaan Bhalla, after the dealer finished the count. Everyone got out of the way leaving the two players to head to showdown.
Tetsuma Ishizu: A♣Q♦ 
Eshaan Bhalla: 8♥8♠
Before the deal, Bhalla stated, "I hope they hold this time," and sure enough they did. The flop came K♣3♦8♦ cementing Bhalla's lead with a set prompting Ishizu to take out his phone and take a photo of the hand as it completed with a 4♥A♥ runout.
Ishizu headed to the payout counter as Bhalla scooped the pot.
