It looks as if Mark Dube is playing his first World Series of Poker Circuit event for this series, and things are going well for him. He is leading the field with about 68,000 in chips. Mark got 2nd place for $105,103 in the last WSOP-C Main Event at Foxwoods, losing to Allen Kessler. Mark also has 3 other Circuit final tables, but is still chasing that elusive WSOP-C ring.
We found Chris Tryba all in on the turn with top pair and a straight draw, but he was behind his opponent's top pair with better kicker. But Chris hit his kicker on the river to double up and survive. Chris busted out of Event #4 $365 Omaha/8 earlier today, so hopefully his back luck in that event will turn into good luck in this event. Chris already holds a WSOP-C ring as well as a WSOP bracelet, so perhaps he will add to that collection in this event.
Other players still alive in this event are Andrew Badecker, James Campbell, Tom Dobrilovic, Tarun G., Je Wook Oh, Andy Spears, and Tim West.
We noticed a few recognizable players in Event #4 $365 Omaha/8 as well. Bobby "The Bus" Ferdinand and Roland Israelashvili are both doing well in this event so far. The field is currently playing 75/150 blinds and 150/300 limits.
