Zalac Regains Chip Lead
Ivan Zalac was recently moved to another table and has already made an impact. The first hand saw Savio Chan open to 1,200 from the hijack and get called by the player on the button, as well as Zalac in the blinds. The flop fell 
and Zalac checked, as the original player threw out a continuation bet of 2,900. The button got out of the way, and Zalac called, to see the 
come on the turn. Both players opted to check as the 
completed the board. This time Zalac took control, betting out 3,500 which was called by Chan.
“I have the nuts!” said Zalac, confidently tabling his 
for a straight. Chan mucked as Zalac pulled in the pot.
We were making our way back to the media desk before hearing an ‘all-in and call’ back on Zalac’s table. He found himself involved in the very next hand, and was in great shape of knocking out his opponent after turning a straight.
His 
was able to hold against his opponent’s 
as the board finally showed 
.
He raked in his second big pot in a row, with chips spread out all over the table in front of him. We can safely say that Zalac now sits well in excess of 100,000 in chips with one more level to go today.
