It's been a climb back from the short stack for Vincent Moscati of Team Moscati, and in this hand, he called the 160,000 big blind from the small blind, and the big blind's occupier, Jonah LaBranche, of Team LaBranche, put in a raise to 500,000, which Moscati called.

The dealer rolled out a 7?10?K? flop and Moscati check-called a bet for 350,000.

LaBranche would bet out again after being checked to by Moscati on the 4? turn, this time for a hefty 950,000, which Moscati also called.

The 7? river would go check-check and Moscati showed down A?J? to take a nice chunk out of one of the chip leaders stack.
