Level 9 Update: Sung And Mizzi Double UpJun 11, '09 Blinds: 500-1,000 with a 300 ante Players Remaining: 46 out of 96 Chip Counts: 1. Roland De Wolfe – 180,300 Average Chip Count: 58,776 Notable Eliminations: Steve Zolotow Big Hands:
Steve Sung was all in before the draw for his last 6,000 in chips. Freddy Deeb was the only caller and it was time to draw. Draw: Sung draws 1 card, Deeb’s draw unknown After the draw, Deeb announced he had a King-low. Sung then turned over his holding, showing 10-7-3-2 before he flipped over his drawn card. It was the 4 Zolotow With An Early Pot, Busts Out Later With 5,600 in the pot and the draw already completed, Steve Zolotow fired 3,000 into the pot and the action was on Chris Bjorin. He thought for a few moments but decided to muck his hand and surrender the pot. Zolotow raked it in and was around 32,000 in chips. Those chips did not last long, however, as he busted out shortly after.
Before the draw, Mizzi was all in for his last 10,400 and the action was on Binger. He tanked for a long time and then finally decided to throw in the call. Draw: Mizzi draws 1 card, Binger draws 1 card When Mizzi drew his card, Binger had a look of frustration on his face as he drew his card. Before even looking at his card, Binger said to Mizzi, “You win.” Mizzi turned over a K-10-8-6-2 and Binger mucked. He was down to 51,000 while Mizzi doubled up to 22,000.
