Eight on the River Leads to Pires Double
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Raphael Pires was all in from under the gun against Jimmy Gomes in the big blind, who had him covered.
Raphael Pires: A?8?
Jimmy Gomes: J?J?
The flop landed 10?8?6? to pair Pires' eight while still keeping Gomes ahead with jacks, but the board then finished out 2?8? and an eight on the river secured the double up for Pires.
