Zayner Lookin' Good So Far

Dory Zayner is simply killing it today. If you followed the 2007 PokerNews Cup Main Event, you'll remember that the champion was our current chip leader, Zayner. Last year at the end of Day 1, Zayner finished off with just over 100,000 chips. Already today he has amassed almost double that! He's currently sitting with 195,000 and just eating away at his opponents' stacks one by one.

Taking home $300,000 for his win last year, Zayner has his eyes set on the first place prize of $250,000 this year. The buy in for the event is a little smaller -- $2,000 compared to last year's $2,800 -- and there are a few less entrants in the field -- 18 to be exact. Only time will tell if Zayner can capture the repeat, but it surely looks like he's setting himself up very nicely.
