Champing at the Bit

In the rarefied air of the feature table - set on a little podium roughly eight inches off the ground - Champie Douglas just ran into some trouble.

It looked as though Douglas had been the pusher and Dmitry Gromov had been the caller. Either way, though, the cards were soon flipped and it was off to the races for the two of them.

Douglas: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Gromov: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Board: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Douglas made two pair, but it was already too late. Gromov's set of lucky eights was the better hand at the end, and after a few brief moments of counting stacks, it was ascertained that Douglas had been covered.

Douglas - busted.

Gromov - 470,000.
