Eights Lucky for Luca

[user46392]

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Xavier Detournel limped in preflop and Luca Pagano made it 800 to go. In seat 1, Tommaso Palasciano Villamagna made it 2,125 which got rid of Detournel, but Pagno called and they went heads up to the flop.

Flop: {5-Diamonds} {j-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Villamagna bet out 2,725 and Pagano made the call.

Turn: {9-Hearts}

Villamagna bet out an additional 4,800. Undeterred, Pagano called again and they proceeded to the river.

River: {3-Spades}

This time Villamagna bet 10,100 and after a pause, Pagano called again. Villamagna had to reveal {a-Clubs} {k-Clubs} for ace-high, and Pagano's modest {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} were good enough to take the pot. He's up to 42,500 now.
