Twenty years ago, Scott Lazar doubled up eventual champion Joe Hachem and coolered Mike Matusow at one of the most entertaining and memorable World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final tables ever.
Two decades later, the 2005 sixth-place finisher in poker's most prestigious event ran deep in another WSOP event. This one, Event #48: $1,000 Senior's No-Limit Hold'em Championship, a tournament that attracted 7,575 entrants. Lazar, who spoke to PokerNews on a Day 3 break, busted in 31st place for $21,950, his second-largest tournament cash since his televised $1.5 million score.
Michael Duek raised to 1,500,000 in the small blind and Jeffrey Hakim just called in the big blind. The flop came A♠Q♥6♣ and Duek continued with a bet of 3,500,000. Hakim shoved all in for 4,800,000 and Duek quickly called.
Jeffrey Hakim: K♥Q♦J♠6♦
Michael Duek: A♦8♥8♣7♣
Hakim flopped two pair to take the lead and the Q♣ on the turn locked up his double with a full house. The 3♦ on the river was just a formality and Duek took a hit to his stack.

Dennis Weiss limped the 9♦8♠6♣3♠ in the small blind and called a pot-sized raise to 1,500,000 by Michael Duek with the K♥K♣9♠9♣. They checked the J♣J♠6♥ flop before Weiss led the 3♣ turn for 1,400,000, Duek called.
On the K♦ river, Duek improved to kings full with the superior hand and faced a bet of 4,200,000 by Weiss. It took a while for Duek to make his next move and the pot-sized raise forced an instant fold from Weiss.
