Slawner Eliminated By the Kings of Zulkowitz

Howard Slawner moved all in preflop for around 25,000 only to have Amit Zulkowitz move all in over the top right behind. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned on their backs.

Showdown

Zulkowitz{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Slawner{A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Slawner shook hands with Zulkowitz before making his exit. As Zulkowitz was stacking his chips, he looked at the dealer and simply said, "I wanna kiss you."

Meanwhile, Adam Levy, Lasse Aastad Kjos, Fred Berger and Matthew Livingston have all hit the rail early in Level 11.
