Scott Lazar, one of the 2005 WSOP Main Event finalist, is not a boring player to watch. Back then he was entertaining and just now we've also seen him pull a nice move.
The board read 
and Lazar moved all in with just 1,900 chips in the pot. Lazar's opponent shook his head and looked back at his cards.
"And I even have the third nuts," he smiled as he folded his cards.
"Of course I would never do that with anything but the nuts," Lazar said as he took down this little pot.
"We've missed you," your reporter said to Lazar about his entertaining play.
"It's good to be missed, but i'm sure my ex wife doesn't feel the same," Lazar said as he smiled and grabbed the next hand that was dealt.

Tony Bloom is an icon at the Aussie Millions. In 2004 he won this very event, and since then he's been back year in and year out, even competing in the various High Roller tournaments with remarkable results. To put it mildly, Bloom has an impressive Aussie Millions résumé. Unfortunately for him, he's not off to a good start here today.
We caught the action in a recent hand with 6,600 already in the pot and a board reading 
. The player in the big blind had just bet 3,200 and Bloom, who was enjoying a massage, tank-called only to muck when his opponent rolled over 
.

Earlier today Jesse "OnTheMac" McKenzie won an 18-person freeroll for a seat into the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event. Unfortunately for him, his luck hasn't transfered.
In a recent hand, McKenzie opened for 400 from the hijack and received calls from the players on the button and in the small blind. Three players saw a flop of 
, and two checks put action on McKenzie, who bet 825. Only the small blind called, and then that player checked the turn. McKenzie kept the pressure on with a bet of 2,025, and it was enough to get the job done as his opponent sent his cards to the muck.
Despite winning that small pot, McKenzie is still down to about half the starting stack.
