Mark Dube Eliminated in 6th Place ($5,000)

Livello 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Robert Natividad opened on the button and Mark Dube three-bet jammed a stack of 950,000 in the big blind. Natividad called with a bigger stack.

Mark Dube: 2♥2♠
Robert Natividad: A♣K♣

"Deuces! Classic!" laughed Qing Liu.

"No more classic," Natividad replied after the flop of 3♦Q♦6♠ left his Big Slick behind. The 4♠ turn didn't change anything, but the A♥ landed on the river to mark Dube's elimination.

"Barry Greenstein!" cheered Natividad as he picked up a bounty.
