Slow-Play Backfires in Favor of Donaldson

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After five players invested 4,200 apiece and checked through the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, the small blind moved all in after the {8-Diamonds} turn to force two quick folds. Matthew Donaldson on the cutoff however asked for the amount and called once it was determined to be for 31,600. After the button folded, the cards were turned over.

Small blind: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Matthew Donaldson: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Donaldson's set of eights scooped the pot.
