Stanko Draws First Blood on First Hand

Level 23 : 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante

Pej Niyati opened for a raise and Scott Stanko four-bet from the button. The blinds released and Niyati called. The flop came {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, Niyati checked and Stanko bet 85,000. Niyati called to see the {2-Spades} fall on the turn. Both players checked and the river came {3-Diamonds}.

Niyati led out with 107,000 and Stanko called after just a moment. Niyati tabled pocket eights but Stanko had him bested holding pocket jacks.
