Deeb Continues to Ride the Roller Coaster

Freddy Deeb has been on quite the roller-coaster ride today. First he's up, then he's down, then he's back up. Here's one where he went down a bit.

Deeb opened to 4,500 from middle position and found a caller in John Gale from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Gale check-called a bet of 5,500 from Deeb.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and Gale checked again. Deeb didn't slow down and fired 15,000. Gale stood strong and called.

The river was the {J-Clubs} to pair the board. Gale checked and Deeb checked.

Gale announced a king and then tabled the {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. All Deeb could do was muck his hand and Gale won the pot.

When Will It End?

Strolling by Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier's table, we noticed his stack has grown quite a bit.

"You wanna know how it happened?" asked Mercier before relaying the story to us. "A guy shoved for 20K and I called. Then another guy reshoved for 60K and I called. I had ace-king, the first guy had pocket eights and the other guy had queens. The board ran out ace, six, three, ten, three."

A moment later he questioned, "When will it end?"
