Mark Dube started the Event 81 final table as chip leader but and is playing close to the same stack he was chip-wise when eight-handed play started. Dube lost a pot to Gary Bolden but got one right back from Veerachai Vongxaiburana.
Bolden limped the small blind and Dube checked his option. Bolden checked the 10♥7♥2♣ flop and Dube bet 20,000. Bolden called and the 5♦ hit the turn. Bolden checked again and Dube bet 35,000. Bolden check-raised to 120,000 and after some thought, Dube kicked it in.
The next hand, Dube limped in and Vongxaiburana checked. Dube led for 20,000 on a flop of A♠9♥8♥ and Vongxaiburana called. Dube check-called for 60,000 on the Q♦ turn and the 9♠ hit the river.
They both checked and Dube’s Q♠10♠7♥3♣2♣ was enough to take the pot. Players are on a 30-minute dinner break and will return to play at 9:05. Chip counts and remaining payouts are below.
