Ho All in Again, Now All Out
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 
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 
"I have pocket eights," said Chai, turning over 
.
Ho was in need of hitting an ace or a king to avoid going bust and was unable to hit it as the turn 
and river 
fell to secure the pot and the knockout for Chai instead.
