Pair Good for Evans
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Andrei Coca opened to 300 from the cutoff and was called by Martin Paul on the button. Brendan Evans came along in the big blind to see the 8?7?5? flop.
Evans led out for 600 and both opponents called. The dealer revealed the 2? turn, where Evans checked.
Coca fired a bet of 1,100 into the middle, with Paul and Evans tossing in the call. Evans checked again on the K? river, with Coca doing the same.
Paul bet 1,300, resulting in a call from Evans and a fold from Coca. Evans showed 10?8? for a pair of eights, good enough to take down the early pot as Paul mucked.
