A short-stacked Guy Pariente shoved for 58,000 and Mazin Khoury called with the 
in the big blind. Pariente had 
and saw the board run out 
.
Then, the biggest hand of the tournament thus far was played between Asi Moshe and Gregory Baird. Pete Chen opened to 12,000 and Moshe three-bet to 42,500 in the small blind. Baird only called in the big blind and Chen folded. On the 
flop, Moshe continued for 42,500 and was called and then fired 82,000 on the 
turn.
The 
river completed a possible flush and Moshe shoved for 148,000 in total. Baird called with pocket aces and Moshe showed 
for trips deuces to rake in a massive double.
