Zack Wins Without the Straight
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Bertrand Grospellier bet into two opponents with his ace-high board on fifth street and got two calls, but Dan Zack picked up a very scary four-straight on sixth and took the lead.
Zack:

Grospellier: /
Third player: /
Grospellier called, with the third player folding. On the river, both Zack and Grospellier checked. The latter showed a 
for one pair, but Zack had it beat with 
for eights up.
"ElkY" appears to be having a swingy go of it today, as he ran his starting stack up to nearly 150,000 with a quickness but is now back below 50,000.
