Ausmus Left on Fumes

Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, Elias Gutierrez called in the small blind, and Dan Shak defended in the big blind.
The flop of 2?8?K? checked through to the 4? turn, where all three players checked again.
The river landed the 8? and Gutierrez led out with a bet of 50,000. Shak folded and Ausmus raised to 141,000, leaving himself with just 1,000 behind.
Gutierrez thought for a moment, eventually making the call and tabling 10?8? for three of a kind, eights. Ausmus turned over 8?7? for three of a kind, eights with a worse kicker.
