From Springfest to World Series; xzseex makes day 5 of main event

Hungarian tournament star Ilosvay 'xzseex' Zsolt flies the flag for PKR.

Hungarian tournament specialist Ilosvay 'xzseex' Zsolt is the poker dream writ large as he heads into Day 5 of the World Series of Poker main event having won his seat in a PKR freeroll.

Already guaranteed a bumper payday of $27,469, the 28 year old Hungarian is well placed to go even deeper as the world's biggest poker tournament nears its daramatic conclusion.

With just 407 of the 6,494 runners remaining, Zsolt is currently lying in 140th in chips with a 533,000 stack. Considering that he went into day three with just over 30,000 in chips, it represents a staggering acheivement.

Zsolt won his main event package in this year's Springfest Tournament of Champions, where he outlasted eighteen of PKR's best tournament talents to take down a chance to scoop the ultimate prize in poker - a chance he's determined to make the most of.

But xzseex won't be getting it all his own way as he faces a tough table for Day 5 that includes Prahlad Friedman and one of the success stories from this year's Series, Vitaly Lunkin.

What's more, there are plenty of big names left in the field including JC Tran, Kenny Tran, Noah Boeken, Betrand 'eLkY' Grospellier, Andy Black, David Benyamine, Phil Ivey, Dan Harrington, Joe Hachem and Antonio Esfadiari.

Full chip counts and seat draws can be found on the official World Series of Poker website.

WSOP update, i cant see him in the list although this must have left him short stacked:

"Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:16:07 Lucky Lady Kara Scott was in frankly dreadful shape when she went all in, her Kd Jd dominated by Ilosvay Zsolt's Ks Qs . The deck just didn't want Scott to go though, and she enjoyed a full and fortunate double up to 270,000 when her flush came in. Board: 4d 6d 10c 10d Ad"
