Kabrhel Tables Eights to Take It Down
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The pot had already grown to around 400,000 by the time the board was fully spread 3♥6♥9♣K♦8♠. The action was on Martin Kabrhel, who was the first to act. After exchanging a few words with Matan Mesika, Kabrhel checked, and Mesika quickly checked behind.
“What do you have?” Kabrhel asked after the action was complete. “I have a pair.”
“Which one?” Mesika asked back.
“The best one, eights,” Kabrhel answered.
As Kabrhel was first to show, he tabled 8♦7♠ for a pair of eights, which was enough to drag the healthy pot.
