Kohlberg Doubles with the Eight-Four
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After an open from Ronda Vankrey, Curt Kohlberg shoved all in for 30,000, which Vankrey quickly called to put him at risk.
"Oh sh*t," Kohlberg sighed as he flipped over 8♥4♣ and was up against the A♦6♠ of Vankrey.
The board on the turn read J♠3♣8♦A♣ with Vankrey as a big favorite with a pair of aces, but the river came down the 8♣ to give Kohlberg trip eights and he was awarded the pot, along with some playful comments from the table.
