Deeb Dented

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Shaun Deeb is down to 5,000 in chips early after ending up on the losing end of a major confrontation with an unknown opponent.

We caught up to the hand on the flop, with the board showing {8-Clubs}

. The small blind passed the first action to Deeb who led out with a 625 bet. Michael Mizrachi made the call and when the action returned to the small blind, he raised the pot, making it approximately 2,400 to go. Shaun told us he then repotted, putting the small blind all in. Mizrachi got out of the way and the small blind made the call, prompting the following showdown:

Deeb: {A-Hearts}
