Schroeder Hits a Sneaky Out

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jonathan Dimatteo opened to 1,100 in early position, and Derek Schroeder defended his blind. Schroeder check-raised to 2,900 after Dimatteo bet the {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, and Dimatteo called. Schroeder continued firing with 4,200 on the {9-Diamonds}, and Dimatteo again called. Schroeder bet 6,600 on the {4-Spades} river, and Dimatteo called again after about 30 seconds.

Schroeder showed {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, having missed his flush but hit his gutshot on the flop.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Charlie Dawson
Charlie Dawson

There will be a new champion of Mid-States Poker Tour Tropicana Evansville after Charlie Dawson busted his last bullet.

We found Dawson considering a 6,000 bet from David Dang on a board of {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Dawson said he was all in, and Dang snapped for about 17,000.

"You have an ace?" Dawson said.

Dang said he did not and showed {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a set.

"Oh s***, set over set," Dawson said, turning over {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}. "That's a hell of a way to go out. Nice hand."

The river was a {6-Diamonds} and Dawson made his exit.

Zarlenga Doubles Through Dimatteo

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jonathan Dimatteo bet 5,500 from middle position in a five-way pot after {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flopped. The cutoff called after one fold, and Jason Zarlenga made it 16,200 from the big blind. Dimatteo called, and the cutoff got out of the way. The turn was a {7-Hearts}, and Zarlenga put his last 9,000 in. Dimatteo called immediately.

"Two pair," Zarlenga said.

"You're ahead," Dimatteo said, showing {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair plus a gutter.

Zarlenga had {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and he faded the river as a {3-Diamonds} fell.

"Thanks for giving me back the chips you stole from me earlier," Zarlenga said.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
