Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
The pot had blown up to over 25,000 when this hand was picked up on a complete board of 8♠3♠2♥2♠8♦.
Nick Marchington was first to act from the hijack in a heads-up pot and gave it some consideration before he decided on a check.
Donna Stewart obliged with a check back as the two went to a showdown.
Marchington showed 6♠6♥ for eights and sixes, but it was no good as Stewart was better with 9♠9♥ for nines up to score the healthy pot and get back over the starting stack.
