Ninkovich's Eights Hold

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Ninkovich was in the big blind and up against the player in the small blind who he just had covered. The two players got all their chips into the middle preflop and went to the races.

Kevin Ninkovich: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Board: {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The flop was safe for Ninkovich, but it did give his opponent the nut flush draw. However, the turn and river bricked to secure Ninkovich the pot as another player was sent to the payout desk.
