Hand #113  –  Larry Moccia raises from the button to 250,000 with Jd9h, and Omar Zazay calls from the big blind with Ks2s.

Both players check to the turn on a board of KcQd5h4c, Zazay bets 300,000, and Moccia calls.

The river card is the 9s, Zazay checks, and Moccia quickly moves all in for 2,625,000. Zazay goes into the tank asking whether or not Moccia has a hand, and if he caught something. Zazay says, “I’ve got a little something.”

Zazay tanks for more than two minutes before he calls. Moccia shows his Jd9h for a pair of nines, but Zazay turns over his Ks2s to win the pot with a pair of kings. Zazay is eliminated in fourth place.

Seat 2.  Larry Moccia  –  Eliminated in 4th Place ($220,000)

Seat 7.  Omar Zazay  –  12,025,000
