I Need a Doctor

When we reached the table, the flop had fallen {4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and David "Doc" Sands was heads up with an opponent in the blinds. Sands' opponent checked-raised him to 750 after David tossed out 275, and Sands called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, and Sands called 1,250 from his opponent. Sands' opponent led again after the {k-Diamonds} came on the river - this time for 2,250 - and Sands tank-called. His opponent opened up {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for eight-high , and Sands rolled over {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a wired pair of eights.

They were good, and Sands now has close to double the starting stack.
