"Miami" John Survives Disaster

"Miami" John Cernuto
"Miami" John Cernuto
"Miami" John Cernuto dodged a major bullet after getting all of his money into the pot preflop holding pocket eights against an opponent's pocket jacks.

As grim as things looked preflop, however, the flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, which gave Cernuto new life. "Miami" John ended up making a full boat on the river and survived to see another flop.

After the hand, Cernuto stacked up 26,300 in chips.
