"That Is One Lucky Guy"; Roberts Trips One to the Rail

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in the cutoff moved all in for 16,500, and John Roberts called in middle position.

All-In Player: 8♦8♣ All in
John Roberts: J♥8♠

The at-risk player was ahead with his eights until the flop came J♣7♦A♥, giving Roberts a pair and the lead. "That is one lucky guy," tablemate Louis Dochwat said.

Roberts improved to trips on the J♦ turn, and his opponent was drawing dead going to the 3♦ river and was sent to the rail.
