Eights Unlucky for Matros

With the board reading {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Matt Matros bet out and Ahmad Abghari raised. Matros called, and they saw the river.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Matros bet out again. Abghari swiftly called and the cards were on their backs.

Matros: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a set
Abghari: {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a straight

"Ship it," declared Abghari. Matros looked slightly unwell.

After that, our intrepid heads-upsers are at around 1.4 million apiece.
