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.

Five Tables Left

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

Four more bustouts occurred just as Level 20 came to a close, bringing the overall field size down to 45. That makes 18 bustouts in the first hour following the dinner break.

The latest group of eliminations included Derrick Perry (49th), Matthew Sedgeman (48th), Patrick Chan (47th), and Troy Skinner (46th), each of whom earned $3,329 for their finishes.

Zisk Drowns on the River

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Richard Zisk got his stack all in preflop holding the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and was a huge favorite against the {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} of John Yale. The {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop wasn't of any interest, and the {J-Clubs} turn kept Zisk firmly in the lead thanks to his kicker.

All he needed to do was dodge a nine on the river to double, but it proved more difficult than advertised as the {9-Spades} plunked down to send him out the door in 45th place for $3,606.

Vrabel Busts in 500K Pot

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Luke "Bdbeatslayer" Vrabel
Luke "Bdbeatslayer" Vrabel

A preflop raising war resulted in Luke Vrabel being all in preflop for 248,000 holding the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, Lall Bharat held the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and had 3,000 more in chips.

Vrabel, known as "Bdbeatslayer" online, was no doubt hoping to deliver a bad beat of his own, but it wasn't in the cards as the board ran out {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Vrabel hastily made his way to the payout desk in 44th place to collect $3,606.

Not long after, Lawrence Greenberg and Christopher Renaudette joined Vrabel on the rail in 43rd and 42nd place respectively.

Mintchev Eliminates Lewis; 40 Remain

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Lewis opened from late position with an all-in push, then Chris Mintchev reraised all in from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way.

Lewis had {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and needed help versus Mintchev's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The community cards brought no such relief for Lewis, however, coming {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and they are now down to 40 players.

Stein Sinks Walsh

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Following a middle position open, Thomas Walsh and Z Stein got into a raising war from late position that persuaded the blinds and original raiser to get out. The battle between Walsh and Stein — whose legal first name is indeed "Z" by the way — resulted with Walsh all in for about 145,000 and the players quizzing each other about their hands before they showed.

Walsh asked "Do you have aces?" Hearing that question, Stein replied not with an answer, but with a speculative statement about Walsh's hand: "You must have kings."

Stein then turned over his hand, showing {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, then was pleasantly surprised to see Walsh turn over {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

The board came {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, then {2-Spades}, then {10-Spades}, and Walsh is out in 40th. Mazen Nesheiwat soon followed Walsh to the cashier's desk in 39th, with both players earning $3,606 for their finishes.

Shiluikov Can't Survive Shove

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

"You want my advice? You should fold."

So offered Dmitriy Shiluikov to Alex Wilson sitting a couple of seats to his left. Wilson had opened with a raise to 23,000, and when it had folded around to Shiluikov in the small blind he had reraised all in for 87,000 total. Stephen Dare folded in the big blind, then Wilson was hesitating just a moment, thus giving Shiluikov the opening to make his suggestion.

Wilson decided otherwise, calling to show his {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} while Shiluikov turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

The dealer then delivered the flop — {3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. "Motherf---er" said Shiluikov at the sight of the ace, and as the {2-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river fell, he added one final postscript to his Main Event tournament run.

"What are you gonna do?"

Shiluikov is out in 38th, while Wilson is now approaching 600,000.

Suller Bounced By BeLOWaBOVe

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived to the table after the preflop action had concluded, with Shaun Suller all in with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and in dire straits versus Kevin "BeLOWaBOVe" Saul's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and after barely surviving the bubble before dinner, Suller made it all of the way to a 37th-place finish.

"That's not good," said Paul Snead with a wry grin, shaking his head at the sight of Saul now with a stack about twice the average with 36 players left.

Break Time; 36 Left

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Just 36 players are left to go to the 10-minute break.

Interestingly, once the bubble burst 18 were eliminated during the first hour after dinner, then nine during the second hour.
