"If you have eights, you're good. Otherwise . . . "

On a board of {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Pieter de Korver checked from middle position and his opponent bet 2,000. De Korver made the call and the {7-Diamonds} came on the river. De Korver bet out 3,000 and was raised by his opponent to 8,000.

"If you have eights, you're good. Otherwise . . . " responded de Korver as he made the call and showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. His flopped set was good enough to take down the hand and bring his stack up to 43,000.
