Last Six Hands See Stacks Settle

Apart from Steve Zolotow's. A report has come which says that his chip-leading 160k+ stack was up until recently just an 80k stack, which somehow enticed a double through on a {Q-Spades}

board like so: The utg raiser and big blind had checked to preflop caller Zolotow on the button who bet 2,300. Back to the big blind who made it 5,200. The utg guy got out of the way and Zolotow shoved. Yes - all 80k got over the line, with him holding {3-?}

for flopped bottom set and what's more, he got called.

The other player held {3-?}

for bottom two. I didn't see this first hand, but Zolotow's escalation into pole position chipwise certainly did happen fast and my source is reliable...
