Eights are good

John Kabbaj put in a standard raise, and was called by the gentleman in the big blind to see a {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

flop, which they both checked.

The big blind bet out 1,300 on the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

turn, which Kabbaj called; they proceeded to the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

river, and this time both checked.

The big blind turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

for the two pair on the board with an ace kicker -- but Kabbaj had him just pipped, turning over pocket {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

to take the pot and put him back up to 28,000.
