Eights Are No Good for Nelis

Laura Fryer

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

James Nelis was all in and at risk from the hijack and Mike Gao had called from the cutoff.

James Nelis: 8♦8♥ All in
Mike Gao: K♣K♠

Gao was setting pretty with pocket kings, and they held on the 6♠2♦4♥4♣A♠ board, sending Nelis home with around 50 players remaining.
