Here Comes Corcione

We stumbled upon the action with somewhere between 400,000-500,000 already in the pot and a board reading {8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Robert Corcione had just bet 250,000 from the small blind, and action was on Massimo Mosele, who moved all in for right around 500,000 in the cutoff. Corcione made the call and the cards were turned up:

Showdown

Corcione{K-Spades}{8-Spades}
Mosele{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

Corcione had flopped trip eights, but Mosele was still drawing live to any diamond. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {10-Hearts}. It was a blank for Mosele and he made his way to the payout desk; meanwhile, Corcione was pushed the massive pot and appears to be the second biggest stack in the room.
