Much Ado About Nothing

[user37786]

Under the gun Shaun Deeb moved in for his last 53,500, and Steve Billirakis called. The player in the cutoff raised all-in himself for 90K total and Billirakis called that as well.

Deeb held pocket Eights, Billirakis pocket Fours, and the player in the cutoff {A-Clubs}

. The

flop gave Billirakis a set and the lead...until the {3-Clubs}

fell on the turn to give the other player a wheel. And then, on the river, the {A-Hearts}

spiked to put a wheel on the board and a three-way chop of the pot. One that Deeb was very happy to accept, especially as cries of "Luckbox!" were directed his way.
