Zarlenga Survives

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jason Zarlenga
Jason Zarlenga

A middle-position player raised to 650 and got two calls before Jason Zarlenga jammed from the big blind for 4,800. The opener called, and the other two folded.

Zarlenga: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Middle position: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Zarlenga flopped a pair and turned a second one as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, giving him the double.

Lamphere's Value Bet Costs Him

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Mike Ross checked from the small blind and called 2,000 from button Adam Lamphere on a {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board. He checked the {10-Spades} river as well, and Lamphere bet 4,300.

"Call," Ross said with a shrug.

Lamphere showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, but he'd been caught on the river as Ross showed {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Gerald Heckathorn's a veteran of two deep Mid-States Poker Tour runs, with a fifth-place and a 12th-place finish on the tour this season, but he's finding it tough sledding early here at FireKeepers.

He called a bet of 5,000 from an opponent on a board of {4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and showed {a-}{10-}. it was no good against {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} though.

"Give him the money," Heckathorn said.

He was left with 4,575 and busted in short order.

Ray Doubles Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jim Ray moved all in from the big blind for 5,800 on a {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board, and the player under the gun tanked awhile and called. Ray showed {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and was ahead of his opponent's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} but still had some cards to dodge. He did so as the {4-Diamonds} fell on the river.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
