Freddy Nearly Deeb-Sixed By River

Freddy Deeb and Alan Epstein got most of their chips in on the turn with the board showing 10-7-3-7. The rest of Epstein's -- and most of Deeb's -- went in when the river brought a queen.

Deeb held 10-10 for tens full, but Epstein had Q-Q for the better boat. Deeb has tumbled back down to 6,000, while Epstein is up to 50,000.
