Steve McLoughlin raised to 18,000 from under-the-gun, and was called by Day 1 chip leader Cosmo Andoloro in middle position, Joseph Appler in the small blind, and Jose Zaragota in the big blind.
Appler jammed his last 182,000 in on a flop, and Zaragota and McLoughlin quickly folded. Andoloro tanked for a minute before electing to call.
Cosmo Andoloro:
Joseph Appler:
Appler's set needed to fade Andoloro's open-ended straight draw, and the turn was a safe one.
"King! Eight!" Andoloro said, but the bricked off, sending the big double over to Appler.
