Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ryan Tait opened to 80,000 from the hijack, but faced immediate resistance when Prashant Jha shoved for 165,000 from the cutoff. Tait made the call to put Jha at risk.
Prashant Jha: 8♥8♦
Ryan Tait: A♥3♥
Jha was ahead as they went to a runout, and the first card in the window was just what he wanted to see when the dealer flopped 8♣9♦7♦ to give Jha a set of eights.
The 5♦ turn offered some opportunities for a chop, but the K♣ river sealed the deal in favor of Jha, who secured the double.
