Adelstein Flush with Chips

We pick up the action on the flop in a big pot involving Garrett Adelstein and one other player. The board reads {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. The small blind is first to act, and he checks. Adelstein bets 4,600, and his opponent check-raises it up to 15,000. Adelstein calls.

The turn comes the {2-Hearts}. The small blind leads out with 22,000 chips, and Adelstein raises it up to 57,400. His opponent moves all in, and Adelstein quickly calls, having him covered. With the betting complete, the hands are shown down:

SB: {8-?} {9-?}
Adelstein: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

The at-risk player needs the board to pair to keep him alive, but the {7-Spades} on the river spells the end. He is eliminated, shipping all of his chips over to the dangerous Garrett Adelstein. With that big pot, he has chipped all the way up to 215,000.
