Chewy Gets a Mouthful

For the third hand in a row, Andrew Lichtenberger raised preflop. This time he was under the gun and made it 300 to go. His only customer came from the player in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Lichtenberger fired 500 as his continuation bet and his opponent check-raised to 1,500 rather quickly. Lichtenberger thought for a bit, eyeing his opponent's stack size. He then made it 3,000 to go and his opponent moved all in. Lichtenberger quickly met him with a call, tabling the flopped nuts with the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. His opponent held the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and that ended things. The river completed the board with the {9-Spades} to give Lichtenberger a full house. He had his opponent covered and moved his stack up to 18,500 in chips.
