"Call." Says McLaughlin emphatically.

Laidlaw hits an eight and McLaughlin is out of this contest. He rises from his chair and is quickly approached by Piotr Pietrzak who starts asking him questions about a previous hand the pair had played before.
"Leave the poor guy alone he has just bust." Says Roger Hairabedian.
"Poor man…him?" Replies Pietrzak.
"He only won $2m," Hairabedian responds.
Laidlaw doesn’t care. Despite losing one of his nine lives he now has 400,000 chips.
