As we mentioned earlier David Chiu is an advocate of poker becoming an Olympic sport. Well, we are afraid he had to take the silver medal in this pot.

Chiu called his opponent's 8,000 all-in bet holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

while his opponent held {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

.

The board ran out {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

and the pocket eights were good enough to take the gold medal.
