Vail Dodges Outs for Triple Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action picked up with Kevin Vail moving all-in for 11,700 with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and was called by two players.

One player held {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and another with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, the latter of the two announced, "Oh, I'm going to win this," upon seeing his opponent's cards.

However, that would prove incorrect, as the pocket eights held up when the board ran out {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, giving Vail a full triple up.
