Dielmann's Pocket Eights Hold Firm
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Dennis Dielmann opened the action with a raise from early position, and Ankit Ahuja responded with a three-bet to 3,100 from the hijack, which Dielmann called.
The flop came 7?3?6?, and Dielmann check-called Ahuja's continuation bet of 1,500.
Both players then checked the 4? turn and the 7? river. Dielmann revealed 8?8? for an overpair, enough to make Ahuja muck his cards without further contest.
