Bartlett Busts Bliven

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jason Bliven was all in and at risk holding {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and Todd Bartlett had him at risk with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

"Eight!" Bartlett yelled out. "Eight!"

Bartlett was ahead and didn't need an eight to win a hand, he simply needed to dodge a six, four, or running straight or flush outs.

The turn and river bricked {q-Spades}, {k-Clubs} respectively, and Bliven was eliminated. Confused, Bartlett was getting ready to ship some chips over to his opponent.

"Oh!" Bartlett exclaimed. "I thought you had {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}!"

He happily raked in the pot he thought he had lost, while Bliven hit the rail.
