Four-ways to fourth street, Dario Alioto fired a bet and found bring-in David Margolis as his only caller. Margolis checked all subsequent streets to Alioto, calling the Italian's bets each time.
Eventually, they reached showdown, where Alioto showed a wheel. Margolis mucked his hand, and Alioto was awarded the full pot.
"Did I play it well?" Alioto asked his opponent.
"You played it perfectly, I lost the maximum," Margolis responded.
