Gaelle Jaudon

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Zachary Hall opened to 25,000 in middle postion and got called by Carlos Kinil and Samuel Dray in the blinds.

The flop went 2♦J♦7♠ and it checked to Hall who continued for 28,000. After some thinking, both Kinil and Dray called.

The 8♣ turn and Q♠ river brought no betting action and Kinil tabled 8♦4♦ for a pair of eights, which was enough to make Hall and Dray quickly muck their cards.
