Steve Zolotow made a bit of a late arrival this afternoon, rushing into the Miranda Room after one of our crack reporters ran into him in the hallway and asked him why he wasn't playing.

Apparently, Zolotow thought the Day 2 restart was at 3 p.m. instead of 2 p.m.-- a surprisingly easy mistake to make here at the WSOP.

Zolotow's stack had been blinded down to about 5,000 and he was eliminated a short time after taking his seat.
