Julius' Eight is Good at Showdown

Tim Baker

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dong Chen raised to 120,000 from the cutoff, and Kyle Julius called from the big blind.

Julius check-called a bet of 80,000 from Chen on the 6♣K♥A♣ flop before doing the same on the 8♥ turn, this time for 325,000.

Both players checked the 9♥ river. Julius tabled 8♣5♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to earn him the pot.
