Sikora's Pair of Eights Are Good at Showdown
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mateusz Sikora raised to 80,000 from the small blind and Ioannis Chorianopoulos defended his big blind.
Sikora checked after the dealer fanned out a flop of K♦8♥5♦. Chorianopoulos bet 75,000 and Sikora called.
The 5♣ turn and 7♠ river checked through and Sikora turned over Q♠8♣ for a pair of eights. Chorianopoulos mucked, and the pot was sent to Sikora.
