Stanislav Alekhin Learns Eights Really Are Lucky
Stanislav Alekhin Learns Eights Really Are Lucky
Just a couple of interesting tidbits which happened in that hurricane of action before the redraw:

The {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} of Stanislav Alekhin hit the perfect flop, giving him a set against the {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} overpair of Daniel Negreanu.

It all got in on the {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop, with the ensuing {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} doubling the up-till-now quiet Alekhin to 460,000+ and dropping Negreanu to a level not seen since yesterday (full counts coming in the break).

Over on the feature table, Brandon Adams was simultaneously doubling up Ivan Demidov, who spiked an ace to crack his {K-?} {K-?} .
