Zolotow Can't Find Anything

Phil Laak: {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} / {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} / {9-Hearts}
Steve Zolotow: {A-Spades} {3-Spades} / {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} / {Q-Spades}

Steve Zolotow was all in on third but neither he nor Laak hit anything until the latter made a very rough low on sixth with his ace king high still leading. Laak bricked on seventh meaning that as long as Zolotow didn't catch a nine or a queen he would get half the pot but Zolotow managed to hit a queen for no low and ace queen for the high. Somehow, Laak scooped the lot.
