Emad Gets Tattooed

Emad Tahtouh limped in to the pot, and action came around to the small blind. He raised to 300, and the big blind called along with Tahtouh.

The flop came down {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades}. The small blind bet out all in for his entire stack, representing a substantial overbet of the pot. The big blind folded, and Tahtouh tanked for several agonizing minutes. After an eternity, he finally made the call, showing down {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. He must have been feeling great to see the all in player table {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. The turn blanked off -- {5-Diamonds}. The river, however, was the {A-Clubs}, and Tahtouh literally fell out of his chair. His opponent raked in the pot after making top pair, and knocked Tahtouh down to 1,100 chips.
