Eights are Enough for Chiu

David Chiu limped into the pot from middle position, as did Phil Hellmuth and the button. The small blind folded and the big blind checked before a flop of {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Action checked around and Chiu led out for 1,300 when the {9-Diamonds} hit the turn. Hellmuth and the button folded, and the big blind made the call, taking us to the river and the {4-Spades}. When both players checked, the big blind showed {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, but got notched when Chiu showed {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.
