Zolotow on a Rollercoaster Ride

ChrisBean

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Steve Zolotow's stack was reduced to 12,900 before he opted to move all in from under the gun. Zolotow was called by a player in middle position.

Steve Zolotow: 9♣9♥
Middle Position: A♦6♦

Zolotow's pocket nines held after the board of Q♦6♥5♥3♠2♠ to complete the double-up but is still far short of the high-point of his tournament.

Leal Eliminates Brunson Just Before the Break

Nível 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by John Leal, the two players ended up all-in before the flop.

Todd Brunson: A♣5♣
John Leal: 9♥9♦

Leal was in good shape to score the elimination, but the 3♥4♥7♦ flop would give Brunson a double gut-shot to go along with an ace as cards needed to survive.

However, the 7♣ on the turn and the 7♠ on the river left Brunson with the second-best hand and Leal scooping a bounty worth $2,016.

ChrisBean

Nível 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Fresh from coming fourth in the $1,500 Short Deck for $31,307, Robert James jumped into the Hall of Fame Bounty and found himself on the same table as Scotty Nguyen.

Within two levels of sitting down and before the dinner break, James got into a raising confrontation with Nguyen with all the chips going into the middle with the Hall of Famer at risk for 113,000.

Scotty Nguyen: KxKx
Robert James: A♣4♣

James spiked an Ax on the turn and was good enough to crack Nguyen's pocket kings. 'Scotty Baby' headed to the exit, while James claimed the $2,013 bounty and is now freerolling the tournament.
