Hershiser Strikes Out Deeb; Collects Third Signature

Orel K's Freddy Deeb
Orel K's Freddy Deeb
Moments after doubling up, Freddy Deeb put his new chips back in action holding {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was given action by Orel Hershiser who tabled a pocket pair of jacks. The board blanked out ace-high and Hersh's jacks held up to win the match, earning him a spot in tomorrow's quarterfinals.

The win also enabled Orel to add more ink to his ball, with the addition of Freddy Deeb's autograph. With three down and three to go, Orel continues to look solid against some of the world's top poker pros. The winner of the Scott Fischman v. Andy Bloch match is on deck.
