Is It an Eight or Nine?

Action folded to the man in the small blind who raised to 800 and Todd Brunson made the call from the big. The flop came down {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and both players checked.

When the {4-Spades} hit the turn, the small blind checked his hole cards and then bet 1,200. It was Brunson's turn to have another peek at his hole cards and after squeezing them out, he shot back in his chair. "I forgot if I had a nine or an eight," Brunson said as he mucked {9-}{10-}.

"Good thing it wasn't," the small blind said as he flashed the {A-Spades}. Brunson is sitting with about 20,500.
