Deeb in Trouble

Things are not going well for Shaun Deeb post-dinner.

We picked up the last pot on the turn of a {3-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} board. Ali Eslami was leading the betting with 17,000, and Deeb stuck in a raise that we couldn't count. Eslami responded by shoving all in for 128,000, and Deeb made the call with {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. His top pair was out-kicked, though, and Eslami's {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} had him poised for a double.

The river {A-Diamonds} did nothing to change the situation, and Deeb has been parted with another chunk. That loss moves him all the way down to 112,000, doubling Eslami up to 288,000 in the process.

Moorman Makes Big River Call

Chris Moorman
Chris Moorman

Chris Moorman opened to 17,000 in early position and was called by Steve Landfish in the cutoff.

A {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop hit the table and Moorman bet 23,000. Landfish popped it to 65,000, but Moorman called to see the {K-Diamonds} turn. A check from both players landed the {4-Clubs} on the river which Moorman checked. Landfish bet 75,000, sending Moorman into the tank for about two minutes.

"Call," said Moorman.

"Good call," replied Landfish.

Moorman tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, prompting Landfish to just shake his head while flashing the {A-Diamonds}.

Weinman Doubles Up

Daniel Weinman Comes From Behind To Double Up
Daniel Weinman Comes From Behind To Double Up

Daniel Weinman has doubled up in the first significant hand that Table #447 has seen since the break.

Mohsin Charania raised to 17,000 in the cutoff, Weinman made it 55,000 from the big blind, Charania raised pot and Weinman called off the rest of his stack.

Weinman{K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Charania{A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

According to the PokerNews odds calculator Charania was a 75.15% favorite to win the hand. That was until the flop!

Board: {Q-Clubs} {7-Spades} {5-Spades} {10-Clubs} {K-Spades}

So Weinman hits two pair to double up and he now has 264,000 chips; Charania is down to 160,000.

A Slick Double For Deeb

Shaun Deeb all in
Shaun Deeb all in

From the cutoff, Farzad Bonyadi raised to 16,000, and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 52,000. Bonyadi reraised enough to cover, and Deeb called off the last 129,000 chips he had. All in and at risk, Deeb was not in good shape.

Showdown
Deeb: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Bonyadi: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

Things improved in a hurry for the Deeber. The flop brought an ace, and the {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {7-Hearts} board secured his double. He's back up over 250,000 now, pipping just ahead of Bonyadi.

Marafioti Sticking Around

Matt Marafioti doubles
Matt Marafioti doubles

Matt Marafioti is the tightest player in the room, and we just watched him get all 125,000 of his chips into the middle preflop. Daniel Weinman had 33,000 out in front of his stack when we walked up, so there must have been another raise in front of them both. In any event, Weinman tanked and called, and Marafioti was a favorite to double. It was only then that he revealed he had one yellow T1,000 chip left behind, and he wouldn't put it in until the flop.

Showdown
Weinman: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Marafioti: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The board ran {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, and Marafioti's queens hold up. As the dealer pushed him the pot, Marafioti made a quiet comment to Weinman: "Keep calling me."

Klodnicki Doubles Through Esfandiari

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 17,000 from the cutoff and Chris Klodnicki raised 'pot' from the button. The blinds folded and Esfandiari asked for a count. It was 54,000 more and Esfandiari made the call handing us a showdown with Klodnicki at risk of elimination.

Klodnicki{A-Spades} {8-Spades}
Esfandiari{K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Board: {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

No king or nine for Esfandiari and Klodnicki doubled up to 156,000; Esfandiari was down to 282,000.

Landfish Finds a Set to Hook Moorman

Steve Landfish
Steve Landfish

Steve Landfish raised to 17,000 in first position, Manuel Bevand called in the cutoff as did Chris Moorman in the small blind.

So the trio saw a flop of {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Moorman took the betting lead for 33,000 and both players made the call. The {Q-Clubs} turned up on fourth street and Moorman fired his second bullet, this time for 90,000. Landfish was next to act and he moved all-in for around 267,000, Bevand folded and Moorman made the call.

Landfish{3-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Moorman{3-Clubs} {4-Clubs}

So Moorman needed some help and the {5-Hearts} on the river was not the card he was hoping for. Landfish is back up to a mammoth 684,000 and Moorman is back down to 155,000.
