Two Eights to Save Mahileuski
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vitali Mahileuski shoved for 98,000 from middle position, and he was called by Marko Luksa in the small blind.
Vitali Mahileuski: A♠8♦
Marko Luksa: A♦10♦
"Eight, eight, eight" asked Mahileuski out loud. He wasn't heard on a flop of 5♠2♦3♣. But his prayers were heard on the turn 8♥ and the river 8♠ which brought him trips to double up.
