I Should Have Known Better

PLO hand. With the board reading {2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Lee Markholt checked, his opponent bet 2,625, and Markholt called. The river was the {4-Hearts}. Markholt led out for 5,000, and his opponent raised enough to put Markholt all in.

"I don't know why I bet," said Markholt, explaining that he intended just to check-call on the end. He thought a while longer, then made the call, showing 8-8-6-6 for eights full of deuces. His opponent showed K-K-J-6 for the better full house, and Markholt has been eliminated.
