Dube Sullen After Two Bad Beats by Suller

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mark Dube was just eliminated in 50th place and was none too happy about it. You can't really blame him as he went from sitting with a decent stack to being out in a matter of minute courtesy of Shaun Suller.

It started when a short-stacked Shaun Suller got all in preflop holding {9-}{9-} only to run into the {10-}{10-} of Dube. Suller was on the verge of elimination but scored a come-from-behind double when a nine hit the flop.

A couple of hands later, Suller opened for 12,000 only to have Dube three-bet to 29,000. Suller thought for a moment before shoving for 148,000 with the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Dube snap-called with {K-}{K-}. Once again Dube was a huge favorite, but you could see the disdain on his face when the flop fell {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Suller paired his ten but needed more help to survive. The {3-Hearts} turn wasn't what he needed, but the {J-Spades} river was. Suller spiked two pair to double to 300,000 while a disgusted Dube dropped to 58,000.

On the very next hand, Kevin Saul opened for 14,000 under the gun, Suller called from the cutoff, and then Dube shoved the button. Saul moved all in over the top and Suller thought for about thirty seconds before folding the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} face up.

"You folded that?" Saul asked before tabling {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, which was ahead of Dube's {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Even though he folded the best hand, it proved a wise decision by Suller as the board ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to give Saul a straight. Meanwhile, a shellshocked Dube made his way to the payout desk to collect $3,329.

Dare Mows Down Minsaas

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Steven Dare just claimed another elimination, knocking Steven Minsaas out in 51st place when the latter got the last of his chips in on a {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop with {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and had run into Dare's set with {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and river the {K-Clubs}, and Minsaas was out. Meanwhile, Dare pushes past everyone up over 650,000 chips with that one.

Kings Work for Waaland

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Following a raise to 20,000 from the UTG player, a middle position player flatted behind, then Kevin Saul also called from the button. The action reaching Cory Waaland in the big blind, he pushed all in for 147,000 total, enough to force the original raiser and first caller out of the hand.

Saul considered for a while, and after a bit of table talk from Waaland finally made the call. Waaland stood up in response as he tabled his hand — {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. He then leaned forward to get a better look at what Saul had called with — {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

"Come on… no two-outer!" said Waaland.

"Why not?" said Saul hopefully.

The board rolled out {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and an elated Waaland sat back down to scoop his winnings, saying he never thought Saul was going to be calling in that spot after the way the action had gone.

Seaver Bounced by McNabola

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After Lawrence Greenberg had opened under the gun for 13,000 and John McNabola three-bet to 33,000 from middle position, a short-stacked Jimmy Seaver moved all in for 43,000 from the cutoff. Greenberg got out of the way and McNabola made a quick call.

McNabola: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Seaver: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

"I need an ace," Seaver pointed out. Indeed he did, but he would be left wanting as the board ran out a dry {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Seaver was eliminated in 54th place for $3,329 while McNabola chipped up to 350,000.
