Eight is Not Enough
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Garen Zobian moved all in from the hijack for his stack of 24,500 chips. Shawn Buchanan went all in for more in the cutoff. Oscar Alache called from the big blind.
Garen Zobian: 8♥8♣ 
Shawn Buchanan: 10♦10♥
Oscar Alache: A♣K♣
Buchanan began begging for a "special eight" and got his wish with the flop coming 8♠6♥2♦. But there were two cards to come.
The turn-river of 7♦9♥ led to a straight for Buchanan and an exit for Zobian.
