David Zhao Eliminated

Zhao: goes KA-POW
Zhao: goes KA-POW
A big pot had developed between David Zhao and Josh 'JJprodigy' Field in the previous hand and our reporter just got there to see the chips being shiped over to Field, leaving Zhao with just 1,000 in chips.

Zhao moved it into the middle on the very next hand preflop; Mick Nolton and Ross Boatman called to go heads-up into a sidepot on a flop that read {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-?}.

Nolton led out and Boatman quickly folded, leaving Zhao and Nolton to table their cards:

Nolton: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Zhao: {a-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The turn of the {a-Spades} put Zhao into the lead, giving him some hope of tripling up, but Nolton would have the last laugh (and the last of Zhao's chips) when the {j-Diamonds} spiked on the river for a set!
