Dubini Gets a Fold From Mariani

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Richard Dubini opened to 2,200 and only Frank Mariani made the call from the button.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Mariani called Dubini's continuation bet for 3,500. Things then heated up a bit after the turn brought the {j-Spades}. After a first check from Dubini, Mariani bet for 8,000. Dubini thought about his next move and tossed a stack of 1,000 chips for a raise worth more than 20,000. Mariani ended up folding his hand and Dubini grabbed the pot.
