Moscati Bricks His Draw

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Vincent Moscati checked a {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop from middle position, and John Thornton bet 6,500 from the cutoff. Moscati check-raised to 13,000, then called off his last 50,000 total when Thornton jammed.

Vincent Moscati: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
John Thornton: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Moscati's straight and flush draws failed to come in on a {j-Clubs} turn and {7-Clubs} river, and Thornton eliminated Moscati with trip jacks.

Nelson, Schroeder Out

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Brett Apter raised to 3,300 from the cutoff, then called a three-bet shove for 7,900 from Jeffrey Schroeder in the big blind.

Jeffrey Schroeder: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Brett Apter: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Schroeder could only shake his head as the {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop left him searching for a six to survive, and the {a-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river sealed his fate.

Ian Nelson's seat is also empty at the other table, leaving just ten players in tonight's flight. Play is scheduled to conclude at the end of Level 15 or when five players remain in the tournament, whichever comes first.
