Winsor Doesn't Abdicate

Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Gonzalo Almeida opened from the cutoff to 12,000, then received a three-bet all in by Benjamin Winsor for 71,000 chips. The big blind folded, and Almeida called.
Benjamin Winsor: A?8?
Gonzalo Almeida: A?10?
Winsor needed an eight, and it came on the flop of the 6?4?8?Q?9? runout. Thanks to this pair, he doubled up.
