So Long, Freddy Deeb

[user75032]

Freddy Deeb has joined the ranks of railbirds here in Level 3. The hand developed slowly, with a preflop raise of 900 that was called in three spots. On a flop of {q-Spades}

{q-Spades}

{k-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

, a player's 2,200-chip bet was called by Keven Stammen and Deeb. All players checked the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

turn.

The river fell {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Stammen checked to Deeb, whose bet of 6,000 folded the third player in the hand. Stammen check-raised to 37,000, but as Deeb was only playing 11,000 behind it was effectively 11,000 back to him. He called all in with a Broadway straight, {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

. It was no good. Stammen showed down {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

, a full house. He took the pot and sent Deb crashing out of the Main Event.
