Wesley Wiemes opened with a raise to 32,000 from middle position, and Redmond Lee three-bet shoved for about 205,000 total. Next door, Chris Moneymaker made a smooth call with his big stack, and Wiemes ducked out of the way to let Lee go heads up for his tournament life. The news was not good:

Lee: {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}
Moneymaker: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

Lee stood up to sweat his fate as the dealer knocked the table and burned a card. The {Q-Spades} appeared right in the door, fairly bad news for Lee's hopes. The full flop came {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, giving Moneymaker the full house and leaving Lee drawing dead to miracle running sevens. The turn {4-Diamonds} ended any drama, and the river {J-Diamonds} ushered Lee to the payout desk.

Moneymaker is up to 1.75 million now.
