Moncek Blasts Off Against Zubov
Action folded to Alexander Zubov who limped in from the small blind. Michael Moncek then raised to 120,000 in the big blind and Zubov came back with a reraise to 350,000. Moncek quickly slid forward his entire stack and Zubov snap-called for 1,405,000 to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Alexander Zubov: Q♣Q♦ 
Michael Moncek: K♦3♥
Moncek had been caught making a big move as he had most of his chips at risk against Zubov's queens. The 9♦7♠2♣J♠7♥ board provided Moncek no help as Zubov earned the massive double up, leaving Moncek with just one big blind.
Moncek was all in the next hand with Q♦9♣ and up against Stephen Song's 8♥8♣. Moncek hit two pair on a board of Q♣9♠7♣5♣, but Song spiked the 8♠ on the river to make a set and send Moncek to the rail.
