Crazy Eights Get Mhatre the Double for Chip Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Paulina Loeliger made it 1,000,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Abhishek Mhatre in the cutoff.
On the 8♦2♥5♣ flop, Loeliger continued for 1,500,000, and Mhatre made the call.
The 6♦ came on the river, and Loeliger fired a second bullet of 2,000,000 only for Mhatre to raise all in to 6,775,000.
Loeliger went deep into the tank for four to five minutes before she decided to put Mhatre at risk.
Abhishek Mhatre: 8♥8♣ 
Paulina Loeliger: Q♥Q♣
Mhatre had hit the jackpot with his crazy eights flopping a set. No queen for Loeliger on the 9♥ brick of a river, and Mhatre shipped the monster pot to take the chip lead and near the 20 million chip mark.
