Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Three-handed on a flop of K♠J♥8♦, Kevin Hildebrand bet, Eric Varnado raised in the hijack, Kevin Petersen called, and Hildebrand put in his last chips.
"Good luck, all in," tablemate Mike Thorpe told Hildebrand heading to the K♣ turn. Varnado bet again and Petersen called all in.
"Good luck, all in," Thorpe repeated. The river came the A♣ and Varnado showed A♦J♠Q♦8♥ for two pair. Hildebrand had 8♣8♠A♦3♥ for a set of eights to triple up, while Petersen had 2♥7♠Q♠10♦ for the rivered straight as he took the side pot.
