Moscati Blasts the Turn

Hill Kerby

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Vincent Moscati opened to 55,000 in middle position and was called by Ben Keeline on the button and Brian Menefee in the big blind. The flop came and Menefee checked. Moscati continuation-bet 125,000 and got a fold from Keeline before Menefee called.

The turn fell and Menefee checked again. Moscati jammed for his remaining quarter-million, sending Menefee into the tank before finally folding.

Moscati showed for a set of snowmen and took down the pot, taking him up to 900K. Meanwhile, Keeline has also shot up to just shy of 2 million after eliminating Nader Wahdan on the hand before with jack-ten suited to pocket sevens.
