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.
