Early Pot for Eshkar
Level 1
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Eyal Eshkar opened the cutoff to 1,000 and Safi Haidar defended from the big blind.
They went to a flop of J♠4♦8♠ where Haidar check-called a bet of 1,500 from Eshkar to see the K♠ turn, which went check-check.
A 7♦ landed on the river and again both players checked, then Haidar announced "ace-high". However, that was no good as Eshkar showed A♣8♦ for a pair of eights, beating the A♠9♣ of Haidar.
