Ho All in Again, Now All Out

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Van Ho raised to 1,500 from the hijack over one early-position limper. Paul Chai was on the button and called, as did the limper to take action three ways postflop.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the player in early position checked. Ho went all in and Chai asked for a count.

"Ten thousand, exactly!" responded the player in seat nine (to Ho's direct left) instantaneously after eyeing the stack. The dealer counted it out to be 9,900. Chai then announced a call, getting a quick fold from the early-position player afterward.

"Do you have an overpair?" asked Chai.

Ho shook his head, tabling {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

"I have pocket eights," said Chai, turning over {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Ho was in need of hitting an ace or a king to avoid going bust and was unable to hit it as the turn {6-Diamonds} and river {9-Clubs} fell to secure the pot and the knockout for Chai instead.
