Eights Mean Prizes For Roberto and Haavisto

Roberto Romanello just took a few chips from Ross Boatman - every penny seems to be counting for these final ten at the moment. Boatman had limped under the gun, and they got to a flop of {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} . Not too much going on here - a {J-Spades} came on the turn. If there was a bet on the turn, I missed it (and it wasn't enough to make the pot look any bigger) but Romanello fired 24k on the {Q-Spades} river. Then came a think, and a call - Romanello's {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}x x for the flopped set and rivered house were the winners.

Meanwhile Ville Haavisto's added 22k to his stack, getting a preflop call from Howard Lederer who passed to his 34k bet on the {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} flop.
