Papazian Holds on With a Pair of Eights

Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The flop showed 7?K?8? and there were around 20,000 chips in the pot. Aleksandar Tomovic was first to act in the big blind, and put out a bet of 7,000. Alexandru Papazian called on the button to see at least a turn.
The J? dropped on the turn and both players opted to check for the K? to land on the river. The action checked through again and Tomovic flipped over ace-high with A?Q?. Papazian had that beat with a pair of eights holding 10?8?.
