Pocket Eights Beat Pocket Aces
Niveau 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Oshri Azran was on a short stack and open-shoved from the cutoff. David Docherty in the big blind called.
Oshri Azran: 8♥8♣
David Docherty: A♦A♣
The flop was J♣Q♦2♦.
When the dealer dealt out the 8♠ on the turn, Azran let out an excited: “Yea!”
The river was the 3♣ and Doherty’s aces were officially cracked.
The two players discussed the hand and while Docherty commented that Azran got it in with the worst hand, Azran responded Docherty had "no business having aces in the big blind."
“Yes, that was very rude of me,” agreed Docherty, and they moved on to the next hand, both with stacks that still have some work to do.
