Can't Stop Deeb

Shaun Deeb started the day with 18,000 in chips, which, compared to the average, wasn't much. Currently, he's built his stack up to over 70,000.

Most recently, Deeb was all in preflop with pocket jacks against a player holding pocket kings. The flop ran {10-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, giving Deeb a flush and straight draw. The {9-Hearts} on the turn gave Deeb the best of both worlds, a straight flush.
