Saab Misses a Gear

David Saab opened the pot with a raise from middle position. Two seats over, a short-stacked Spanish-speaking player moved all in for his remaining 2,725 chips. When the bet came back around to Saab, he called.

Showdown:
Saab: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

"Whooo! Race board!" cheered the grinning Saab. The dealer ran out the community cards: {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Finding the board to be of no use for his overcards, Saabb lost the race, sending a courtesy double-up over to his opponent.
