DuBray's Second Bullet
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Mobridge, SD's Leroy DuBray got aces cracked in his first kick at the can here at Canterbury Park.
Rather than head home with a bad beat story, he bought in again and has emerged as the chip leader now as the start of Level 5 looms.
His rise up the leader board came courtesy of one opponent who shipped it in for a little more than 20,000 after flopping a seven-high diamond flush. DuBray had the

In His Defense
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Defending MSPT Canterbury Park champ Dan Hendrickson has turned up here tonight.
But the defense of his title will not be an easy one, as he appears to have drawn one of the toughest tables in the room.
There's no less than eight MSPT final table appearances among those seated with Hendrickson and St. Paul, MN's Christian Pham is there as well.
Pham is the 2015 WSOP bracelet winner who accidentally bought into the $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball No-Limit this past summer, then won it.
