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.

Slater Dean opened in early position to 100,000 and Barb Visher called on the button. Action went heads up to the flop and Dean continuation-bet another 100,000. Visher called.
The turn came and Dean bet another 250,000. Visher raised all in for Dean's effective 150,000 or so remaining, and Dean wasted no time committing it into the center.
Slater Dean:
Barb Visher:
Both players had flopped two pair, with Visher's ahead of Dean's and putting him at risk for his tournament life. The two outer did not come on the river and he fell at Visher's expense, who now has just shy of 2 million with the three-table redraw looming very near.
