Pocket Eights Not Good for Cross

Maxime Taldir

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dohyeok Kim opened from under the gun and was called by the next two players to his left. Peter Cross in the big blind squeezed to 725,000, keeping only 10,000 behind, and he was only called by Kim.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠A♦2♠ and after Cross checked, Kim bet. Cross waited as much as he could to reach the next pay jump. The clock was called and he called.

Peter Cross: 8♠8♥ All in
Dohyeok Kim: A♣J♠

Kim hit trips with the A♥3♥ runout so Cross was eliminated without reaching the next pay jump.
