.
Dubini was in the big blind and had 13,000 out in front of him, with a player in early position all in for 43,650 and Abe Mosseri all in on the button for 53,250. Dubini had well over 100,000 behind and had a decision to make. He went into the tank for about three minutes and eventually called.
Dubini tabled 
for top two pair, queens and jacks. Mosseri said, "I have spades, but I know I'm barbecued." The early-position player had 
for the nut flush draw, and Mosseri tabled 
for top pair with a king kicker and the second-nut flush draw.

, filling Dubini up. The river was the 
, and both Mosseri and the early-position player were eliminated.
Dubini now sits on 265,000, which is good for one of the top stacks approaching the end of the night.
