Bill Zaiss Gets Some Back
May 27, '13
Bill Zaiss has been slowly losing chips over the last couple levels, but recently got some back.
Joe Ruzick raised in early position and a player moved all in from the button. Zaiss called from the blinds and Ruzick reluctantly mucked.
“I have the best hand, but I’m going to fold,” said Ruzick.
Zaiss showed K
Q
and was racing against the pocket eights of his opponent.
The board ran out K
7 2 A 4 and Zaiss took down the pot, increasing his stack back to 180,000.

May 26, '13
We caught up with the hand on a board reading 10 9
8 K with about 40,000 in chips in the middle.
Bill Zaiss was all in holding A 9 against John Apikian’s 10-8 for 68,900. Zaiss needed to dodge four outs to take the massive pot and his flush held when the 6 hit the river.
Zaiss now has 180,000 in chips, which is good enough for the overall chip lead.

Jurgens Wins Huge Hand From Zaiss
May 29, '13
Nichoel Jurgens opened to 110,000 with the 88 and William Zaiss re-raised to 400,000. Jurgens made the call and the flop came out AQ8, giving Jurgens a set of eights.
Both players checked and the turn brought the K, prompting a 400,000 bet from Jurgens. Zaiss made the call and the 2 hit the river.
Jurgens announced that she was all-in. Zaiss could onl beat a bluff, but took his time making his river decision. After quite a few minutes spent in the tank, the clock was called. About halfway into his allotted minute of time, Zaiss made the fold and Jurgens raked in the huge pot to extend her already sizable lead.

William Zaiss Stops The Bleeding
May 29, '13
William Zaiss came into the day in third chip position, but he took a number of hits early in the final table. He laid down the JJ to a shove from Alan Myerson (who held AK). Zaiss avoided playing the huge coin flip, but took a hit in the process.
After losing a few more small pots, Zaiss was among one of the shorter stacks. Toward the end of the level he made a comeback, however, shoving all-in over an opening raise from Zaher Samaan with the 44. Samaan had opened with the 22, and after some time in the tank decided to lay it down. Zeiss ended the level by flopping a straight, and built his stack back above the million chip mark.
