Normand Goes Runner-Runner Trips

Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Frederic Normand raised 800 in middle position and only the big blind came along.
The dealer fanned a flop of A?Q?9? and the big blind check-called a bet of 700.
The K? fell on the turn and both players checked to see the K? river.
The big blind checked before Normand fired a bet of 4,000 and Normand was snap-called. As soon as the player called Normand pulled back his bet and tabled K?8? for trip eights and his opponent mucked his hand.
At the same table Amir Hamzehali is building a healthy stack with over 100,000 in chips.
