Eights are Good for Barbu
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Lucian Barbu opened to 300 from under the gun. He was called twice: by Robert Dymek in the cutoff and by Tiberiu Catalin in the big blind.
Catalin and Barbu checked a flop?of K?5?Q?, so Dymek took this opportunity to bet 300. Catalin folded, but Barbu didn't back down and called.
It was the last action of the hand, as the two remaining players checked the turn Q? and the river 9?.
Barbu then showed 8?8? and scooped the pot, because Dymek threw his cards into the muck.
