Two Eights to Save Mahileuski

Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vitali Mahileuski shoved for 98,000 from middle position, and he was called by Marko Luksa in the small blind.
Vitali Mahileuski: A?8?
Marko Luksa: A?10?
"Eight, eight, eight" asked Mahileuski out loud. He wasn't heard on a flop of 5?2?3?. But his prayers were heard on the turn 8? and the river 8? which brought him trips to double up.
