Whack-A-Mole

Jason Zawacki wants the Internet to know he's likely had one too many.

He had 160,000 in chips spread out in front of him in heaps moments ago. It took six minutes in the middle of a hand to count them up.

He's been belligerent with the floor staff, confrontational with other players, and used an excessive amount of foul language. So much so that the floor had to pull him away from the table and ask him to get it together, giving him a warning.

He returned to the table asking PokerNews to go get him another beer and tell the world his story, no matter how embarrassing it may be. We asked the waitress to cut him off and wrote this post.

Interestingly, Zawacki has been able to build a contending stack through all this, although he's not a favorite to remember how.

In the meantime, it looks like Paul McLean may have snatched the lead getting up to 400,000 after a decent stack ran queens into his kings. Tommy Tomasello may still bag the lead, however, as he's close to that. It's neck-in-neck down the stretch.

They'll play six more hands and count them up. We'll be back to let you know who takes the day with the full list of end-of-day chip counts and a recap.
