After an open from Ronda Vankrey, Curt Kohlberg shoved all in for 30,000, which Vankrey quickly called to put him at risk.
"Oh sh*t," Kohlberg sighed as he flipped over 8?4? and was up against the A?6? of Vankrey.
The board on the turn read J?3?8?A? with Vankrey as a big favorite with a pair of aces, but the river came down the 8? to give Kohlberg trip eights and he was awarded the pot, along with some playful comments from the table.
