Vo Ngo opened from middle position and picked up two callers in Michael Lipner from the cutoff and Thomas Miressi from the small blind.
The flop came 3♦10♣2♥ and was checked to Lipner, who fired a bet. Both of his opponents called to see the turn.
The Q♠ turn checked through, bringing the 8♥ on the river. Miressi led out with a bet, and Ngo made the call. Lipner took some time to consider his decision before eventually sending his cards into the muck.
Miressi tabled A♠3♠ for a pair of threes, but Ngo revealed A♣8♣ for a pair of eights made on the river to claim the pot.
After the hand, Ngo turned to Lipner and asked, "Did you fold a ten?" Lipner responded with a nod.
