Everybody Loves Losing the Minimum

There was 2,500 in the middle by the turn, with the board showing {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Jason Gray checked, Ray Romano bet 1,000, and Gray called.

The river was the {8-Hearts}. Gray checked, and Romano checked behind. Gray turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for trip eights, but Romano had {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for threes full and took the pot.

"I thought you had an eight," said Romano afterwards, apparently not realizing that the eight had filled him up. An opportunity missed there.

Romano has about 25,000, while Gray sits at 29,000.
