Showdown

Event 9: Asher Conniff Eliminated by Mark Dube

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 24: 12,000/24,000 with a 4,000 ante
Players Remaining: 80 of 2,923

The Asher Conniff Show is over.

In what would be his final hand of the day, Conniff opened with a raise in early position, and Mark Dube defended his big blind.

The flop was 6h4h2h, and Dube led for 55,000. Conniff called that bet, then another 140,000 after the 7d turn. The river was the 2s, and Dube moved all in with his big stack.

Conniff slipped deep into the tank, letting his earbuds drop onto the table and taking a long look across the felt. “Mark Dube…,” he shook his head slowly, adding, “Sorry, guys. I’m gonna need a minute here.”

Conniff cut down his remaining stack of 438,000 chips, then stacked them back up and double-checked his hole cards. Eventually, he called to put himself at risk.

Dube showed 3s5c, having flopped a six-high straight. It was good; because he was all in, Conniff’s KdKh was revealed as he stood from the table and headed to the payout desk.

If Dube wasn’t the chip leader before that knockout, he certainly is now. He’s suddenly closing in on 3 million chips.

Mark Dube – 2,850,000 (119 bb)
Asher Conniff – Eliminated in 80th place ($2,645)

This coverage is turning into the Asher Conniff Show, but he’s among the more active notables left in the field at this point.

Just a couple hands after doubling Kazu Oshima, Conniff doubled right back up himself. He had 159,000 chips left when he moved all in from middle position, and Ryan Anderkin re-shoved for 304,000 next to act, isolating himself against Conniff and flipping for the knockout.

Conniff: JdTd
