After checking through the flop of 10♦6♣3♥, Jesse Lonis and John Zable went to the turn 5♥. which saw a bet of 20,000 from Zable.

Lonis made the call and the duo went to the river 8♣ which saw a check from both players.

"I have an eight?" Zable said as he tabled A♠K♠Q♥8♥ for just a lonely pair of eights. Lonies then stared at his hand for a good while before shaking his head and acknowledged that an eight was in fact good and he tossed his hand away,
