Crazy Eights Lead to a Meystel Victory
Level 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Eldridge raised to 20,000 in early position and was called by Brian Hawkins on his left. Meir Meystel three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and both Eldridge and Hawkins called.
The flop fell 8?8?8? and Meystel checked to Eldridge who bet 60,000. Hawkins stepped aside but Meystel called to see the 10? on the turn.
Meystel checked again and Eldridge tossed in a bet of 150,000. Meystel jammed all in for 367,000 and Eldridge asked for a count before laying his hand down.
