Zolotow - moustache is awesomeZolotow Binks
A lucky double up for Steve Zolotow and his awesome moustache. All in for a total of 22,000 preflop, he ran his
into Howard Lederer's 
, but the board came down a Zolo-tastic 
to make him the straight, and he's hanging on in there on 57,000 for the moment. -

Zolotow Crippled, Hoppmann Busts
It's been a good couple of minutes for Lex Veldhuis. First he was able to double through Steve Zolotow with Veldhuis' last chips in the middle preflop.
Zolotow held
but would need to improve against the of Veldhuis, however the board bricked 
and Veldhuis doubled to leave Zolotow on the short stack.
A few moments later the last chips of John Hoppmann were in the middle with
against the 
of Veldhuis. The board once again bricked 
to eliminate Hoppmann and jump Veldhuis up to a more respectable 60,000 at the break. -

Doyle done bustedDoyle Bites the Dust
Doyle Brunson breathed his tournament last not long after. Daniel Alaei raised from the cutoff and Brunson called all in from the big blind; he started behind, he stayed behind, and we are down one more legend of the game.

Chips Flying All Over the Shop
In a pot capped preflop and with a veritable bunch of betting on the
flop, Farzad Bonyadi found himself all in holding 
. Most unfortunate for former chip leader Alexander Borteh, as he was holding 
and was drawing rather thin.
No help for Borteh from the turn or river, and while Bonyadi doubled to 140,000, Borteh was down to just 20,000.
He doubled up the next hand, though, getting in with 
dominating Doyle Brunson's . With no help for anyone from the board, Borteh was back up to 40,000. Brunson, however, was virtually felted -- he was down to just 6,000 and in extreme trouble. -

Lucky in Limit
Kenny Hsiung, currently our chip leader on 330,000 or so, just sat down at Greg Mueller's table.
"Wow," said Mueller, "How did you get all those chips?"
Shrugged a giggling Hsiung, "Lucky..."
