Deeb and Yu Chop Up Couden

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A raising war ensued between Ben Yu and Joey Couden with Shaun Deeb caught in the middle. Four players had seen fifth street after Deeb bet fourth and got three callers. Couden led into the field with {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and got called by Deeb before Yu raised with two low cards. Couden raised back, Deeb called and Yu reraised to get his 4,700 in. The others called.

Deeb: {x-}{x-}/{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Yu: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Couden: {x-}{x-}/{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Couden bet after pairing his queen and Deeb called. Deeb was the one betting the end though, and Couden called. That's because Deeb made a flush with {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Yu had the low with {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}, while Couden mucked and watched his money get chopped up.
