Sailor Bricks His Draw, Still Wins
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brad Sailor raised to 2,200 from the hijack, and was called by Larry King in the small blind and Jeff Roberson in the big blind.
All three players checked through the 
flop, and King bet 2,800 on the 
turn. Both Roberson and Sailor called.
The 
river was checked through, and King motioned to muck his hand.
"I got a pair," Roberson said before revealing 
for a busted straight and flush draw that found a pair of eights on the river.
"I got a pair!" Sailor replied, revealing the 
for a busted straight draw that also hit the eight on the river, and Sailor's superior kicker earned him the pot after King mucked.
