Ditoto Chips Up

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Marshall Roof raised to 1,000,000 out of the small blind and Isiah Ditoto called in the big blind.

Roof continued for 1,000,000 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} and was called.

The {2-Spades} turn saw Roof slow down, checking to Ditoto who fired off 525,000. That was not enough to dissuade Roof who made the call.

Roof checked for a second time following the {7-Clubs} river and then called when Ditoto bet 2,850,000. Ditoto tabled {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for rivered trips, sufficient to scoop the pot.

Ditoto Doubles Through Marshall

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Isiah Ditoto opened to 825,000 on the button and was called by Jacob Hershey in the small blind as well as Marshall Roof in the big blind.

Action was checked to Ditoto on a flop of {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and he continued for 925,000, a bet called by both of his opponents.

The {9-Spades} turn saw action checked once more to Ditoto and he moved all in. Hershey quickly folded but Roof made the call with the covering stack to put Ditoto at risk.

Isiah Ditoto: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Marshall Roof: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Ditoto would need to hit either his straight or flush draw to survive and did just that as a spade hit the river.
