Dermer Wins Battle of the Eights
Jared Bleznick had won a pot against Jesse Hampton without showdown when the final table had just kicked off and lost almost all of those chips now again in three-way action against Kyle Miaso and Aron Dermer.
Bleznick raised the button and was called by Dermer and Miaso in the blinds. They all took two on the first draw and Dermer bet, Miaso and Bleznick called. On the second draw, Dermer now stood pat and his two opponents once again drew two. A quick bet of Dermer followed and Miaso sent his cards into the muck, while Bleznick called.
On the final draw, both stood pat and Dermer turned over his 
and Bleznick carefully checked the cards. "I have the worst eight," Dermer added and Bleznick studied his cards, shrugged and tabled 
for the worse eight.
