Crazy Eights Hurt Affleck's Stack

[user198205]

Matt Affleck raised from under the gun to 2,400 and was called by one player in middle position. The flop came {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and Affleck bet 3,000. The other player pushed all in for a total of 13,900 and Affleck called.

Affleck: {k-Spades} {k-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}

Affleck had been out-flopped and would need a king or a club to win the hand. Unfortunately the turn and river brought the {9-Spades} and {a-Diamonds} and the other player doubled up while Affleck was left with 29,000.
