board and Thor Hansen calls all in. Zolotow turns over and it's good enough to send Thor's tournament hopes down to Valhalla -- Hansen mucks and takes his leave.
First he found that his two pair holding
on a 
board was good, doubling him up to a heady 525.Next hand, he got it all in preflop with two callers, including the big blind. Both callers checked the
flop, but the big blind bet the turn, forcing the other player to fold. Men's 
was behind his opponent's 
, although he seems to have misread his opponent's hand and thought he was ahead with a pair of aces until someone pointed out that his opponent had trip threes. Anyway, all change on the 
river and Nguyen had won, catapulting him up to a vertiginous 1,900.
and 
in the hole, his opponent taking the pot with plus 
for a straight and a low, both to the six... or the semi-wheel as I (yes, just me I'm afraid) like to call it.Jac is on his third pair of sunglasses, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Recent bustees include Stuart Paterson, Allyn Shulman, Jason Stern, Scott Bohlman and serious contender for best name in the world, Thang Nguyen. Our field is somewhat diminished -- down to 232 currently -- but still star-studded, with Hoyt Corkins, Todd Brunson, Gavin Griffin and Italian Pirate Max Pescatori among those leading the field.
The latter of those is sporting a sling on his arm, the result of an altercation with a flight of stairs at the Monte Carlo EPT Grand Final, although stories he has been feeding to polite enquirers include being attacked by a gang of ruffians ("You should've seen the other guys!") and straining his wrist overturning the table at a home game.
. His opponent held 
but folded to the final bet.The Italian Pirate is now up to 16,850 and in confident mood. Word has it he fell down the stairs, but there are a number are rumors going round as to the origin of his injury.
, you almost expect to hit something... anything... surely?Well, Steve Jelinek did make something, but his two pair with
wasn't quite what he was after, and alas it simply wasn't enough as his saw his stack plummet right back down to 4,125 after enjoying an early chip lead.
From small acorns... as they say.
