DeepStack Extravaganza Event 81 Champion –
Mark Dube

The last PLO/PLO8 event of the DSE III series brought out a collection of familiar faces and excellent players. Just over 100 entered on Day 1 and 15 returned on Day 2. Mark Dube bagged a healthy stack and entered the final table as the chip leader. Plenty familiar with PLO/PLO8 tournaments, Dube finished second in a WSOP event in PLO8 in 2015 and has had plenty of experience in the game over the years.

Dube used that experience to pick his spots and made it to heads up play against Gary Bolden after managing to not be all-in once during full ring play. Dube and Bolden traded the lead many times before Dube finally gained an edge he would not relinquish.

This title is the second for Dube at The Venetian after taking down the $5,000 event in July 2014. Additionally, Dube claims his second PLO/PLO8 title of the summer, proving himself a true master in the format. With only a few events left on his schedule of events, Dube is peaking at the right time.

Gary Bolden

PLO/PLO8

Mark Dube held the lead heads up against Gary Bolden after doubling up and then took the title over the course of two hands.

In PLO, Dube raised to 120,000 and Bolden called. Bolden and Dube checked through the K♣J♠2♥ flop and the J♥ turn. Bolden checked the K♦ river and Dube bet 120,000 more. Bolden called and Dube showed A♠K♥7♥4♦ which was enough to to win the pot.

Down to 400,000, Bolden got those chips in with 5♥5♣4♣3♣ but was crushed by the A♥A♣4♦3♠ of Dube. The J♥9♦6♣6♥7♠ board held up for Dube and he is the Event 81 Champion. A winner’s recap will be posted shortly.

Pot Limit Omaha

Gary Bolden had Mark Dube close to the edge but after putting him down to just 10 big blinds, Dube doubled and is back in the chip lead.

Dube got his last 430,000 in the middle with K♣K♥K♠3♠ and was facing off against the K♦Q♠J♣4♠ of Bolden. The A♠10♥5♣6♦A♦ board was enough for Dube to secure the hand. He is playing 860,000 with the match potentially far from over.

Gary Bolden caught a fortunate river card to survive against Mark Dube and is back in the lead after winning a pot at showdown.

Both players limped preflop and then put in 40,000 more on the A♣J♣7♦ flop. Bolden checked the 9♣ turn and Dube bet 110,000. Bolden called and checked the 5♣ river. Dube checked back and Bolden fanned A♦10♥8♠7♣ for a turned straight.

As the blinds get set to go up, Bolden has to almost 1,000,000 to Dube’s 525,000.

PLO8

After battling back to take the lead against Gary Bolden, Mark Dube had his opponent on the ropes but an unlucky river card has their match back to even.

Bolden opened to 70,000 and Dube potted it 210,000. Bolden shoved for 349,000 total and Dube called to put him at risk. Dube’s A♠6♣6♥2♠ was ahead of Bolden’s 7♦5♠4♠2♣ and he had a few blockers against a potential Bolden straight.

The K♠Q♣3♣ flop took away most low possibilities and the J♣ turn had Bolden needing a pair. He found it on the 7♥ river and Dube shipped a large portion of his stack over to Bolden. The two players are now dead-even and still going strong.
