Deeb Folds Aces

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Poker legend Freddy Deeb is among those to take a seat on Day 1a of the PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo. In a blind battle, Deed held {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and bet 3,500 on a {5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board. Brazilian qualifier Michel Pereira Marques check-raised to 9,500, which gave Deeb pause.

"You have a ten?" the two-time WSOP bracelet winner asked, but it elicited no response from Pereira.

"You beat two aces?" Deeb tried again with a wry smile, but still no response. The American flashed his aces and folded. Pereira knocked the table and casually slid his cards face-down into the muck.

"Show bluff. Good for image" Deeb tried one last time, but the Brazilian still didn't feel like talking. Deeb ended his monologue with "no bluff then" and moved on to the next hand.
