Lucky Eight for Argiero
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Carmino Argiero began the hand with a raise to 1,050,000 from the button. David Baker gave it some consideration before pushing Argiero all in. Argiero obliged with a call to put his tournament life at risk.
Carmino Argiero: A♥8♦
David Baker: A♠J♥
Baker held a sizeable lead over Argiero heading into the runout, but that all came crashing down when the flop fanned out 8♣Q♦5♣ to reverse the tables and give Argiero the lead. The K♥ turn gave Baker a straight draw as well as his outs to a pair of jacks, but the 9♠ completed the runout to award Argiero another double up.
