Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position limped in, as both the player in middle position and the hijack. John Eames squeezed to 10,000 from the cutoff and only the middle-positioned player called.

The flop of A♣Q♦Q♥ checked through to the 8♠ on the turn. The out-of-position player took the lead for 10,500 and Eames called.

The 7♠ river saw the action check to Eames who put out a bet of 50,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in. They made a quick fold and Eames claimed this pot.
