Funny River Bet

The other night the board comes up AKQJT with no flush possible. Three players are still in the hand and so it’s an obvious split pot. I check, the second player to act bets, and we all call. I type in the message window “Uh oh, I think he has us beat with the joker.”

The funny part is that I had AQ the last player to act had AJ and the guy betting out with the nut straight on the board . . . pocket eights! He had called raises pre-flop (flop was AQJ), on the flop and on the turn with pocket eights!
