Zimmerman is the Man...For Now

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Doug Zimmerman
Doug Zimmerman

Willamsville, NY's Doug Zimmerman has busted not one, but two players at his table so far. The first went down when he picked up aces over jacks and the second fell bluffing into his two pair.

Zimmerman now finds himself in the enviable position of chip leader.

"Doesn't mean much right now," he laughed. "Hopefully I'll still be there tomorrow."

Needless to say, Rozin's opponent missed.

Tim Wildrick
Tim Wildrick

Tim Wildrick found a pair of kings with an ace kicker was enough to take a ton of chips from one player holding {k-}{9-}.

Although he was a bit sketchy about providing details of the hand to PokerNews, Wildrick is now one of the early chip leaders as Level 2 comes to a close.

Fishers, NY's Cynthia Sharp flopped top set of queens and made the call when her heads-up opponent shoved {a-}{j-} with a pair and a flush draw.

She managed to fade all danger and push up close to the top of the early leader board collecting just shy of a full double up.
