"You hit it on seventh? I had kings up the whole way," said Rahim.

Level 22

Ziya Rahim: {5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}/{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Daniel Zack: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}/{x-}{x-}{x-}
Eric Kurtzman: {x-}{x-}/{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} - folded fourth street

After Eric Kurtzman brought it in, Ziya Rahim completed and Daniel Zack called. Kurtzman defended his bring-in, and while he made open fours on fourth, he folded to a bet from Zack who made open nines. Rahim stuck around to see fifth street though.

Rahim then called bets from Zack on fifth and sixth streets, then on seventh street, Zack checked.

Rahim now bet and got a call from Zack.

"Straight six," said Rahim as he rolled over his hole cards. Zack took a final look at his cards then tossed them to the muck.

"How did you know to check," asked Kurtzman as he dragged the sizeable pot.

Zack smiled and shrugged as he watched his opponent gather what used to be his chips.

Zack Rebuilding Stack

Level 22
Daniel Zack
Daniel Zack

Daniel Zack was recently all-in for a little over 300,000 but survived with a chop.

He's since won a couple of smaller pots which have added up to nearly a million chips now in his stack.

In the first hand against Ziya Rahim, Zack started with a queen in the door and made open aces by fifth to force a fold from Rahim.

Shortly after, he took more chips from Rahim showing {x-}{x-}/{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} on board and betting fifth street versus Rahim's {x-}{x-}/{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Eric Kurtzman raised Daniel Zack's bring-in and Ziya Rahim called. Zack folded.

Kurtzman then bet fourth and fifth streets with Rahim calling each street. The players then checked sixth and seventh streets before Kurtzman declared "just a pair. Queens."

Rahim looked at his hand again then tossed his cards into the muck as Kurtzman's buried queens were indeed good to scoop another pot as he is now pulling away from the field with significantly over half the chips in play.
