Del Pino Pings an Ocho to Stay Alive
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action folded around to Cesar Del Pino in middle position, who shipped his last 775,000 into the middle. Paawan Bansal took his time in late position and flat called. The blinds and button all folded.
Cesar Del Pino: J♦8♦
Paawan Bansal: K♥K♣
Some promise on the flop for Del Pino when it came 2♦8♣A♥, and then when the 8♠ peeled off on the turn, he soared ahead. No rescue for Bansal with the 5♣ on the river, and Del Pino was pushed the pot for a handy double-up.
