Rivered by a Pair of Eights

pre-flop, Julian Adamson saw an opportunity to strike with 
and made it 35k. However, Roland made the call and two players saw a seemingly ineffective 
flop.Explosions somehow erupted as Adamson pushed in for his remaining 55k, only for Roland to match the bet with his flush draw.
So... King high versus Queen high - a classic Omaha encounter if ever I've seen one - and we had a 200k pot.
Turn =
River =
Ouch, a firm kick in the nether regions for Julian - no flush, but a pair of Eights on the river takes it for Roland who is now a real danger in this ￡5,000 Omaha event.
Meanwhile, I managed to catch up with a bleached blonde Julian Adamson on the rail, who although evidently devastated, was still happy to retell the gruesome details and add his thoughts.
"I can't believe I just nearly won a 200k pot with King high," he said half-amused, half-bewildered and half-gutted. Hold on, that's too many halves. I never was good at math at school.
