McCauley Collects All the Eights to Bust Shingala
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a heads-up flop of 3?8?7?, Christopher McCauley check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vivek Shingala to see the 8? peel off on the turn.
McCauley checked again, and Shingala continued for 9,500, which Mcauley called after some pause. The river fell the 7?, double-pairing the board and McCauley checked once more. Shingala then downbet to 6,000, to which McCauley responded by putting him all in. Shingala thought about it for a second but made the call and tabled A?A? for top two-pair, but it was no match for McCauley's quads with 8?8?.
Mcaulety was awarded the pot to boost him up to over 70,000 while Shingala was sent to the rail.
