Steve Zolotow - 6th Place
Stud:

Steve Zolotow committed all of his chips on fourth street against Hoyt Corkins and the boards ran out as follows:

Zolotow: ({3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}) {9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} (X)
Corkins: ({K-Spades}{6-Spades}) {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}-X ({A-Spades})

Before the river was flipped, Zolotow said "Please tell me I don't have to look" in jest but was dismayed when Corkins flipped the {A-Spades} to complete the nut flush to leave Zolotow drawing dead. He exits in 6th place for $47,990.

Zolotow Gets Razzed

Razz:

On sixth street Steve Zolotow was showing 4-2-J-4 and made the call against the bet of Jens Voertmann who held 5-8-3-4. On the river both players checked and Voertmann declared "seven" flipping A-7-9 for a seven-low. Zolotow flashed 5-6-X as his attempted draw missed on the river.

Zolotow is now down to 125,000 chips.

The Cheering Section

Above us sitting on the upper deck of the No Limit Lounge are several supporters for Hoyt Corkins. When Corkins wins a pot, you don't hear loud boisterous screams, chants, or random pep sayings. Instead, you might hear a couple of people do a muted "whoo" and politely clap. You would almost think we were watching Tiger Woods sink a putt for par. A much different scene than the adjoining No Limit event where even a minor pot seems to be cause for rowdy celebration.

Marcel Gets Quartered

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Marcel Luske raised preflop, check-raised on the flop, bet the turn and checked the river to his opponent Doug Ganger on a board of {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Ganger casually tossed out a bet on the river which Luske quickly called tabling {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Ganger showed {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} for the same low to go with the nut flush for the high. Ganger collects three-quarters of the pot, and Luske only receives a small refund with one-quarter of the pot.

Steve Zolotow Nearly Doubles Up

Zolotow showed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Ganger said, "Good call. Seven high."

After the hand Zolotow moved up to around 180,000 in chips

Davis Nearly Doubles Up

Hold'em:

The pot was three bet by Jared Davis preflop and both Marcel Luske and Steve Zolotow called. On a flop of {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} , it was checked to Davis who bet out. Both of his opponents called. The same action occurred on the turn of the {8-Diamonds}. When the river card hit, it was checked to Davis who once again bet, but this time, both players folded. Davis said that he had {A-?} {10-?}. After the hand, Davis moved up to 160,000 in chips.

Stuck In The Middle

Stud-8:

Hoyt Corkins became stuck in the middle in a hand with Jared Davis and Jens Voertmann. Davis showed down ({A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}) {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the low while Voertmann had ({4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}) {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} for trips for the high. Corkins was showing {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs} but couldn't better those hands as the pot was split between his opponents.

Corkins is now down to 225,000 in chips.
