Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 8,600 already in the middle and the board showing 4♥8♦2♥J♣, Ariel Celestino checked from the small blind. Brian Battistone bet 7,500, and both Brandon Wilson in middle position and Celestino made the call.

The 4♣ landed on the river, and all three players opted to check, though Wilson took a moment before tapping the table.

At showdown, Celestino revealed K♥8♥ for two pair, eights and fours. But Battistone turned over J♠8♠ for a stronger two pair, jacks and eights. That was enough to take the pot as Wilson quietly mucked his cards.
