MBN to Run Like Shaun Deeb

Four players saw a flop in a raised pot over on the Table of Death, and it showed up {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {9-Spades}. The betting checked around to the cutoff where Shaun Deeb grabbed control by flicking out 3,650 chips. The player on the button made the call, folding the other two opponents.

Heads up now, the turn card came the {4-Clubs}. Deeb kept the heat on with a bet of 9,150. His opponent came along once again.

The last card brought the {9-Diamonds}. Deeb checked this time, while his opponent sat motionless for about a minute. Finally, the opponent tapped the table reluctantly. Deeb raised his cards off the table toward the muck, waiting to see his opponent's winning hand. "You're good," said Deeb, cards still lingering in midair.

"Does he fold?" asked the button.

"No, I have a four," said Deeb, flashing the {4-Diamonds} on the bottom. "You're good."

"Four's good," came the reply from the button. Sheepishly, Deeb tabled his full hand, {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, good enough to win him the pot. He's back up to 86,000.

After the hand, Deeb walked over to Michael Binger, who -- freshly busto from this event -- was sitting on the rail sipping a cocktail. After running him through the hand from start to finish, Binger simply shook his head. "Must be nice, Shaun... M-B-N."
