Platinum Pass Winner Has Last Laugh Against Deeb

Connor Richards

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Shaun Deeb only lasted a few hands after insulting the majority of the table, telling Xuan Liu that "the rest of the table is so bad."

Karma caught up to the always mouthy Deeb as the table told PokerNews that Platinum Pass winner Lucas Pignay moved all in with a rivered gutshot straight in a heads-up pot against Deeb, who called with an inferior holding and was sent to the rail.
