Eight Good for Swartz
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Daniel Swartz opened 50,000 from middle position and John Richards three-bet 166,000 in the small blind. Swartz made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 10?8?3? and Richards flung a bet across the line.
"I felt like he was going to bet 125,000. Is that 125,000?" Swartz asked the dealer.
It indeed was, and Swartz made the call.
The 8? turn and J? river were checked down and Swartz announced 'eight' as he tabled A?9?8?5?. Richards mucked his hand.
