Moscati Finds a Sweet Board
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Vincent Moscati had been ground down to just over 1,000,000 chips when he committed himself with a raise against David Hu, who had him well covered.
Vincent Moscati: A♠K♣9♣8♦
David Hu: 9♦7♠6♥5♣
Moscati was undoubtedly happy to see he was ahead and was blocking Hu's hand a bit when the dealer scrolled across 10♠7♣2♥. Hu had a pair of sevens, but Moscati was looking at overcards and an open-ender.
The turn peeled the K♦, putting Moscati back in the lead. His hand finished even better when the 10♦ fell on the river to give him a double-up.
