Simon Deadman has had a rollercoaster couple of levels but at the moment at least it's one that's going uphill not downhill. He returned from dinner break with 100,000 but had dropped down to 38,000. However, thanks to winning two big pots against Jonathan Barusta he's back up to 110,000.
In the first Deadman raised to 1,200 from under-the-gun and then called when Barusta three-bet to 3,200 from middle position. The flop fell 
, Deadman checked, Barusta bet 4,100, Deadman check-raised to 11,600 and Barusta smooth called. The 
fell on fourth street, Deadman fired out a bet of 16,400 and Barusta folded.
Then a few hands later with the board showing 
Deadman (big blind) bet 8,900 and Barusta (early position) called. "I've got a nine," said Deadman showing 
, Barusta flung his pocket jacks into the muck as another pot escaped him.
