McAleenan Takes a Pot as Nedelcu Calls Ace-High
Level 40
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Narcis Nedelcu made it 3,500,000 to go on the button. Daryl McAleenan defended his big blind, after which both players knuckled the table on the 6♦8♥3♦ flop.
McAleenan tossed in a bet of 2,500,000 on the subsequent 8♠ turn, and Nedelcu called to the Q♣ river. McAleenan fired a second barrel, worth 3,500,000, and Nedelcu again called before his shot clock ran out.
McAleenan tabeled trip eights with 8♣7♠, and Nedelcu tapped the table before he added his A♣7♣ to the muck.
