Painter's Eights Hold Up
Level 14
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Motoyoshi Okamura just doubled up his stack in the previous hand and was back at it with a raise from the hijack. Jameson Painter three-bet from the big blind, Okamura four-bet, and Painter capped it. The two players both had the last 5,000 chips in the middle before the flop was dealt and Okamura was at risk again.
Motoyoshi Okamura: A?Q?
Jameson Painter: 8?8?
The board ran out Kx9x7x5x2x and Painter's pocket eights held up to eliminate Okamura.
