Deeb Doubles Marchal

Joseph Marchal was all in at risk against Shaun Deeb moments ago. When we reached the table, the flop had already fallen {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}, Deeb had {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} in front of him, and Marchal held {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. There was a brief pause so that the ESPN cameras could set up the shot.

"Man," Deeb sighed. "Any hand but that one."

The turn and river were both black, but neither the {j-Clubs} nor the {8-Clubs} improved Deeb's hand, and Marchal doubled again.

Deeb was knocked down to 363,000.
