Zolotow Lines One Up

[user4144]

Steve Zolotow is now on 23,000 after scooping a pot with two pair. Showing {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, Steve check-called a bet from his opponent who had {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades} lying on the felt.

After checking down the river, Zolotow revealed a {5-Clubs} in the hole, which was enough to take down the pot.

On a sidenote, Zolotow is one of those rare breed of players who love to line up the marks on their chips. An obsessive compulsive perhaps, or the sign of a player sitting back and waiting for his moment to pounce?

Take it to the Limit

The eagle-eyed viewers of table 47 recently noticed that a hand of seven-card stud hi-lo involving Brandon Cantu was played at the wrong limits with the level still at 800/1,600 rather than the newly introduced 1,000/2,000.

Upon realizing this faux-pas, the floor was duly called over. After a brief discussion, it was decided that the hand was over and that there was nothing that could be done but allow play to continue.

After the ruling, Brandon's opponent, who had folded his hand on sixth street, claimed he would have played the hand differently at the correct level because it would have put him all in.

However, it's game on, and as it stands, the chips remain with Cantu who is now up to 13,000.

Berry Johnston has just won a huge three-way pot in a hand of seven-card stud hi-lo. With {7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} showing, Johnston bet, one opponent folded, and another called, a pair of aces his showing at the time. However, Johnston revealed {4-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a straight to the jack to topple the rockets and lap up the pot.

Johnston is now up to 45,000.

Anyone for Pizza?

On just 6,000 currently is Tim "Pizza Man" Frazin. He caught my eye as he was very loudly losing a big pot, and appears from his shirt to be sponsored by a pizza parlour. He says that this is only the second tournament of this kind that he's ever played, "And I'm lucky to be here." I wonder what he thinks of the Poker Kitchen mini-pizzas.
