Two for Dubois

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Marty Dubois
Marty Dubois

A player in early position made it 2,500 to go and got two callers before the cutoff went all in for 22,000. Marty Dubois then shoved from the small blind for about 50,000, and everyone else folded.

Dubois: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Cutoff: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Dubois' jacks held as {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs} rolled off the deck. One player seemed sick and said he laid down queens, while another said he mucked nines.

The next hand, the player who said he had queens limped in and called a raised to 3,000 from Dubois. The flop came {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}, and two checks followed. The first player bet 3,000, and Dubois min-raised. His opponent called but then check-folded on the {a-Diamonds} river.

Dubois showed {9-}{9-}.

Zarlenga Catches a Short Stack Shoving Light

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Jason Zarlenga contemplating an all-in shove of 7,175 over his raise from middle position. Zarlenga counted out enough to call and then splashed it in.

Zarlenga: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Zarlenga was in a dominating spot, and he won as the board came {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

"You're Too Good"

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tom Midena bet 10,000 on a {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board after his opponent checked. The player tanked a couple of minutes and then slid out enough to put Midena all in. The former champ snap-folded.

"You're too good, buddy," he said.

Armintrout Holds Versus Two

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
MSPT FireKeepers Day 1b
MSPT FireKeepers Day 1b

We found a player all in for 14,100 in the small blind, having been called by David Armintrout in middle position. A third player shoved in the cutoff but it was just about 4,000 more, so Armintrout quickly called.

Armintrout: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Armintrout had found a good, if high variance, spot. His fives held as the board rolled out {9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

We found Gary Tsui with all of his chips nearly organized in the middle, ready to receive a double for 14,275 on a board of {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Brian Zekus sent over the required amount. Tsui said he called off the remainder of his stack on the river.

Justin Lohr

Ken Baime appears to have busted Justin Lohr, as he now has piles with Lohr nowhere to be found at his old table.
