Floor!

On the turn, the board showed {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Jean-Robert Bellande check-raised a bet from Michael Kachan and Kachan made it three bets to go. Bellande called.

The river fell the {8-Clubs} and Bellande checked to Kachan. Kachan took a long time before acting and Bellande said, "If it's that close, I have you." Kachan said, "No, you don't." Finally, Kachan bet out and Bellande raised. Kachan didn't see the raise and just flipped his hand over.

The floor was called over and Kachan was told that he had the option as to whether he can raise, call, or fold. Oddly enough, Kachan elected to only call. The reason why it was odd is because Kachan showed {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for quad eights.
