It's Just Not Freddy's Day

Hold'em

After returning from his penalty Freddy Deeb jumped right into the middle of the action, but he would've been better sitting this one out also as David Bach collected a nice pot.

Bach raised the cutoff and Deeb defended in the big blind with a call. The flop landed {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Spades} and Deeb check-called the continuation bet from Bach.

Both players checked the {Q-Clubs} turn before the {3-Hearts} landed on the river. Deeb checked, Bach fired a bet and Deeb looked him up.

Bach tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for top pair which was good to collect the pot. Bach moves to 1.3 million with Deeb down to 910,000.
