Zachary Eichenbaum raised from middle position to 10,000, James Blazek called from the button, Tanner Enoch called from the small blind, and Shawn Lucas called from the big blind.

The flop came 8s6s5d, Enoch checked, and Lucas bet 15,000. Eichenbaum moved all in, Blazek folded, and Enoch tanked for a while before he called all in for 175,000.

Lucas quickly folded, and Enoch showed 8c5h for two pair. Eichenbaum turned over KhKc, and Enoch needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the Qc, the river card was the 2c, and the two pair held up for Enoch to win the pot and double up in chips.

Tanner Enoch  –  410,000  (82 bb)
