Eights Mean Prizes For Roberto and Haavisto

[user46298]

Roberto Romanello just took a few chips from Ross Boatman - every penny seems to be counting for these final ten at the moment. Boatman had limped under the gun, and they got to a flop of {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. Not too much going on here - a {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

came on the turn. If there was a bet on the turn, I missed it (and it wasn't enough to make the pot look any bigger) but Romanello fired 24k on the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

river. Then came a think, and a call - Romanello's {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

x x for the flopped set and rivered house were the winners.

Meanwhile Ville Haavisto's added 22k to his stack, getting a preflop call from Howard Lederer who passed to his 34k bet on the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

flop.
