Evdakov Out

Nikolay Evdakov, who set the WSOP record last summer by cashing 10 times in a single series, won't be cashing in his first attempt this time around. With a king on board, Evdakov found himself all in with K-8 only to be outkicked by Steve Zolotow's K-10. Evdakov is done, and Zolotow is now up to 315,000.
