Thang Luu raised from under the gun and action folded around to Freddy Deeb in the small blind. He thought about his decision with a very short stack and eventually decided to stick it in. Luu made the call.

Showdown
Deeb: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

Luu:

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

The flop came down {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

. The turn fell the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and Deeb locked up a low. The river was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. Luu's ace-king high was good enough for the high with Deeb taking the low to stay alive and get a few thousand more chips. He now has around 75,000.
