Steve Zolotow

Steve Zolotow found himself in one of the worst spots in poker on a flop of {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

. He held {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

for a set but Robert Mizrachi committed all of his chips holding {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

for top set to leave Zolotow in trouble.

However the turn was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and river the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

to give Zolotow an unlikely running straight to collect the pot and and leave Mizrachi shaking his head all the way to the rail.

"I'm sorry," was all that Zolotow could say as he now sits with 215,000 chips.
