David Goodman raised to 400,000 from the button and was looked up by Scott Seiver in the small blind.

The flop came out {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} which saw Seiver check to Goodman who bet 300,000 and was quickly called by Seiver.

The turn of {10-Clubs} was checked through to the {3-Spades} river that saw Seiver lead out for 400,000. After some time, Goodman raised to 1,450,000 and Seiver went into the tank. After some time, Seiver put in his chips for the call and Goodman tabled {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for tens-up and Seiver mucked, giving Goodman a massive chip lead.

Steve Zolotow Eliminated in 4th Place ($99,483)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Steve Zolotow
Steve Zolotow

Action folded to David Goodman in the small blind who raised to 1,800,000, enough to cover Steve Zolotow in the big blind. Zolotow made the call for his tournament life.

Steve Zolotow: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
David Goodman: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Zolotow was ahead but fell way behind on the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop and was left drawing dead after Goodman filled up on the {4-Clubs} turn. The meaningless {8-Clubs} river sealed Zolotow's fate and sent him to the payout desk in 4th place to collect $99,483.

Steve Zolotow
Steve Zolotow

David Goodman opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Steve Zolotow shoved all in for 950,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Goodman called to put Zolotow at risk.

Steve Zolotow: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
David Goodman: {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Spades} runout was safe for Zolotow and gave him a much needed double up.
