Default Is this Fossilman WSOP hand in the ESPN coverage?

I have all of the WSOP coverage and I thought I had seen all of it, but I just remembered a particular hand and I don't remember seeing it. Now that I've moved all of the episodes from TIVO to tape & it's harder to find individual hands, can anyone tell me if this was shown & when? Thanks.

It was Day 6 with about 15 people left, but I never heard more details. Here's how Vorhaus on UB put it at the time:

"Wheels within wheels, right? Wheels within wheels. A few hands after the break, Fossilman raises to 120, and John Murphy reraises to 300. I'm sitting here thinking that I've started to detect a trend: Greg bets, John raises, Greg lays down. I guess Greg saw the same pattern, because this time he came back over the top for all his chips, and this time John laid down.

Now here's the punchline to the joke: Greg showed his hand: T-8 offsuit. I guess you'd say it was a purpose-raise and also a purpose-reveal. Greg wants John to think twice before he reraises so cavalierly. We can predict that we'll see this betting pattern again... but will it mean the same thing, and will Greg have the same cards?"

It was an interesting play to me for several reasons. I searched the archives to the best of my ability, but there was so much WSOP & Fossilman chatter at the time, I couldn't find any discussion of this hand or the coverage.

Thanks,

Napawino
