Deeb Ousts Grizzle; Advances to Sweet Sixteen

[user38449]
[user38449]
Sam Grizzle was a heavy favorite to double up through opponent Freddy Deeb after getting it all in with pocket kings against Deeb's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} in a pre-flop all in confrontation, but when an ace appeared in the door, Grizzle's plans were foiled. The entire board filled out {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Deeb took down the pot and the match with a single pair of aces.

The win guaranteed Mr. Deeb a spot in the sweet sixteen, where he will face off against a very hot Orel Hershiser.

Grizzle's elimination completes round two for players in the Hearts and Diamonds brackets, setting up the following round three pairings:

Andy Bloch
v.
Scott Fischman

Hershiser
v.
Deeb

Huck Seed
v.
Michael Mizrachi

David Benyamine
v.
Doyle Brunson

The Clubs and Spades brackets will begin momentarily.
