Crazy Eights for Phan
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nam Phan raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and action was folded around to Matthieu Mary in the small blind who three-bet to 255,000. Phan called.
The flop came 9♥Q♠5♦, and Mary checked to Phan, who bet out for 170,000. Mary called, and both players checked the 6♥ that came on the turn.
The 8♣ peeled off on the river, and Mary checked again. Phan thought for a while and then announced that he was all-in for 580,000, which had Mary covered. This sent Mary deep into the tank for three-four minutes before he tossed in a chip to make the call. Phan tabled 8♠8♥ for a rivered set as Mary turned over Q♥K♣ for one pair, which was no good, and he was sent to the rail.
