Eight-High is the Nuts? Watt?
Level 7
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With about 14,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
, the players in the small and big blinds checked and the under-the-gun player bet 5,500. Andrew Watt called from late position and both the blinds folded.
The turn was the 
and the player under the gun checked. Watt bet 8,000 and his opponent called. The river was the 
and action was checked to Watt again. He bet 12,000 and his opponent tank-folded.
"It's nothing personal" said Watt as he showed 
for a busted straight draw. His opponent laughed and said "I had eight-six." Watt smiled and replied, "So I had the nuts!"
