Zarlenga Sends One Home
![[user269680]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jason Zarlenga has steadily been riding a decent stack most of the day and just three bet preflop to isolate from middle position. Zarlenga took down his heads-up opponent with a strong 
holding as the inferior 
failed to catch up.
Zarlenga just may be poised to make another deep run here at FireKeepers.

Uminn Flops Big
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Bill Uminn limped from middle position, as did the player in the cutoff. Steve Maniaci raised to 8,000 from the button and Uminn and the other opponent both called. The flop was 
and action checked to Maniaci who continued for 11,500. Uminn moved all in for 28,700.
Maniaci did some math before reluctantly throwing out chips for the call. It was bad news though, as Maniaci could only hope for a chip with his 
far trailing the 
of Uminn. The board completed and Maniaci's stack took a hit.
