Zolotow Binks

Zolotow - moustache is awesome
Zolotow - moustache is awesome
A lucky double up for Steve Zolotow and his awesome moustache. All in for a total of 22,000 preflop, he ran his {A-Spades} {8-Spades} into Howard Lederer's {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}, but the board came down a Zolo-tastic {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} to make him the straight, and he's hanging on in there on 57,000 for the moment.

Wahlbeck Gets Into Trouble With the Ladies

Ville Wahlbeck raised from under the gun before Phil Tom reraised from middle position. The action folded around to Wahlbeck who made the call.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and after a flurry of raising action, Tom found his last chips in the middle with Wahlbeck happy to oblige.

Wahlbeck: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Tom: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and river the {a-Clubs} and Tom doubles through to get himself back to 100,000 with Wahlbeck now under pressure to reach the cash with just 45,000 chips.

Zolotow Crippled, Hoppmann Busts

It's been a good couple of minutes for Lex Veldhuis. First he was able to double through Steve Zolotow with Veldhuis' last chips in the middle preflop.

Zolotow held {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} but would need to improve against the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} of Veldhuis, however the board bricked {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Veldhuis doubled to leave Zolotow on the short stack.

A few moments later the last chips of John Hoppmann were in the middle with {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} against the {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} of Veldhuis. The board once again bricked {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} to eliminate Hoppmann and jump Veldhuis up to a more respectable 60,000 at the break.

Doyle Bites the Dust

Doyle done busted
Doyle done busted
Doyle Brunson breathed his tournament last not long after. Daniel Alaei raised from the cutoff and Brunson called all in from the big blind; he started behind, he stayed behind, and we are down one more legend of the game.

Brunson: {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Alaei: {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Board: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Chips Flying All Over the Shop

In a pot capped preflop and with a veritable bunch of betting on the {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} {9-Spades} flop, Farzad Bonyadi found himself all in holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. Most unfortunate for former chip leader Alexander Borteh, as he was holding {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and was drawing rather thin.

No help for Borteh from the {2-Clubs} turn or {5-Hearts} river, and while Bonyadi doubled to 140,000, Borteh was down to just 20,000.

He doubled up the next hand, though, getting in with {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} dominating Doyle Brunson's {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. With no help for anyone from the board, Borteh was back up to 40,000. Brunson, however, was virtually felted -- he was down to just 6,000 and in extreme trouble.

Lucky in Limit

Kenny Hsiung, currently our chip leader on 330,000 or so, just sat down at Greg Mueller's table.

"Wow," said Mueller, "How did you get all those chips?"

Shrugged a giggling Hsiung, "Lucky..."
