I Want It Alstyne

[user46392]

James Van Alstyne has just picked up a nice pot -- it seems his opponent assumed that with Van Alstyne's board reading {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

, he would be going for the low, but Van Alstyne flipped over a most surprising {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

for a rivered full house to scoop the pot. It isn't clear whether he was holding trip eights or a mere two pair on sixth street, though.
