Corey Zedo moved all in for 65,000 from early position and Preston Dean called in the small blind.
Corey Zedo: 8♠8♦ 
Preston Dean: Q♥Q♦
Dean had Zedo crushed with his queens, and the 10♥9♥2♦K♥J♠ board improved him to a straight to earn him the knockout.
At the same time on another table, John McGriff was all in for 110,000 from the small blind and up against Jim Weaver on the button.
John McGriff: 10♣10♥
Jim Weaver: A♣K♠
Weaver hit top pair on the K♦J♠5♣ flop to take the lead, while the turn was the 9♣. The river, though, brought the Q♦ and McGriff spiked a straight to win the pot and double up.
