Zolotow Teaches The Professor The Art Of The Moustache
Steve Zolotow was all in for his last 22,000 and Howard Lederer was the man putting Zolotow at risk.
Zolotow: A

Lederer: A

Zolotow was dominated and needed a generous flop to stand a chance at doubling up. He got his wish as it came 765, giving Zolotow an open ended straight draw. The 4 on the turn made his straight and the 7 finished off the board. Zolotow doubled through Lederer and was at 50,000. Lederer was still doing fine at 230,000.
No Money For Wahlbeck This Time
Ville Wahlbeck was short stacked with 9,000 and shoved that in against Phil Tom. Wahlbeck had king-high but Tom held ace-high. The flop pair Tom’s ace and Wahlbeck never got any help and, in a rare occurrence, Wahlbeck will not cash in this $10,000 buy-in event.
Barry Greenstein Doubles Up, But Busts Later
Action folded around to Barry Greenstein in the small blind and he raised. Mark Teltscher was in the big blind and three-bet. Greenstein moved in and was called.
Greenstein: Q5
Teltscher: K
J
Greenstein was behind until the flop of A52 gave Greenstein a pair and the lead. The turn brought the 10, giving Teltscher outs to a straight. But the 3 was a brick for Teltscher and Greenstein doubled up to 45,000.
Later, Greenstein found his entire stack in the middle again and was holding pocket queens. Steve Kim looked him up holding pocket aces. The board ran out J96103 and Greenstein was eliminated.
