Zaun Doubles Early
Playing in his first World Series of Poker event - like thousands upon thousands of others here today - Arizona amateur Michael Zaun crosses the 10,000-chip mark midway through Level 2.
Zaun is on the right side of a cooler, holding pocket aces against pocket queens, and he manages to extract value on all three streets. While he doesn't double through entirely on this hand, thanks to his opponent playing the big pair cautiously, Zaun has won a few other small skirmishes and he now sits with a pair of starting stacks to work with.
