Alexander Has a Date with an Eight

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Michael Sanders opened for 4,500 from middle position and MSPT Team Pro Matt Alexander called from the cutoff. The player in the big blind came along, and three players saw a flop of {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The big blind checked, Sanders bet 9,500, and only Alexander called.

When the {8-Clubs} appeared on the turn, Sanders moved all in and Alexander snap-called off for 34,900.

Alexander: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Sanders: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Sanders turned a flush draw, but he was drawing dead as the same card gave Alexander a full house. The meaningless {3-Diamonds} was run out on the river, and Alexander was shipped the double.
