Lijo Spikes an Eight

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

From the button, Evan Sandberg put all of his chips into the middle which put Lander Lijo at risk from the small blind for around 50,000 chips.
Lander Lijo: 8?8?
Evan Sandberg: 9?9?
It didn't look good for Lijo but the flop swiftly changed that as he hit a set on the 5?10?8? board. Sandberg did turn some outs with the 7? but the A? river wasn't what he needed.
