"January $100,000 II" (Flight 1A): Zakheim Holds, And Eclipses Century Mark

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 82

Scott Zakheim (Davie, FL) found himself in a great position to almost double his stack, and ended up holding through the runout.

Just as the level was ending, Scott Zakheim (Davie, FL) found himself all-in with A♠ K♣ against A♥ 10♦, on a flop of A♦ K♠ Q♠.  It ended up that his opponent had a shorter stack than him, and although he wasn't at risk, a loss would leave him with less than ten big blinds.  The turn would bring the Q♦, which actually gave his opponent extra outs to a chop, but the river would be a blank, sealing the hand for Zakheim's top two-pair.  Scott is now over 100,000, and finds himself with a top five stack in the field.  Zakheim is looking for his second cash of the year, with his first coming in the multi that was run earlier this month here at the Isle Poker Room ($360 No Limit Hold'em).

Scott Zakheim - 118,000 (98bb)
