A Seven Card Stud: Cory Zeidman
Cory Zeidman has been around the poker world for a long time. His first cash came back in the 1997 World Series of Poker Event #4 $1,500 Limit Seven Card Stud when he finished eighth for $8,481. Since then, Zeidman has amassed nine WSOP cashes��seven of which have come in Stud event��for $335,451. Last year, Zeidman finally broke through when he took down Event #4 $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8 or Better for $201,559 and his first gold bracelet.
Zeidman did so by defeating WSOP legend Chris Bjorin in heads-up play, which came at the end of a tough final table that included Brandon Shack-Harris (3rd - $84,415), Michael Mizrachi (5th - $41,447), Xuan Liu (6th - $29,985) and Todd Brunson (7th - $22,142). Interestingly, both Shack-Harris and Brunson are in today��s field (Brunson actually finished runner-up in this event last year).
There��s no doubt Zeidman is a formidable stud player, and after winning a bracelet in the game he��ll no doubt be remembered as one of the best. It should also help him shake the stigma as the guy who slow rolled Jennifer Harman with a straight flush in the 2005 WSOP. Remember this gem:
