Robert Campitiello

Robert Campitiello was all in for his tournament life with {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

but Jan Van Dyk made the call holding {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

.

The board fell {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

and Campitiello spiked a miraculous two-outer on the river to survive and double up to about 36,000.

"Eights are lucky in Asia!" laughed David Saab however Van Dyk wasn't interested as he went for a walk to cool off as the overnight chip leader fell to 20,000 chips.
