Not Lac-king In Chips

Ludovic Lacay raises to 500 from midposition and the big blind, Martin Vallo calls. The flop is {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} and both players check, on the {6-Hearts} turn, Vallo bets 600 and Lacay moves all in for 3,075 more. Vallo calls after about twenty seconds showing a drawtastic {K-Spades} {6-Spades} but taken slightly aback when Lacay shows {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} leaving Vallo with less outs than he probably thought.

The river is the {2-Spades}, "Right suit..." says Vallo, "wrong number." Ludovic Lacay doubles up to about 8,000.
