Deeb Thoughts

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

When we arrived at the table, Shaun Deeb had the button and 2,725 sitting in front of him, and his neighbor in the small blind had all of his stack -- 17,200 -- in front of him. Deeb was standing up and rubbing his chin, deep in thought over whether or not to call. Finally he dropped a stack of yellow chips out in front. His opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and Deeb winced at the sight as he showed his {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The board came {5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and the better hand preflop had held. Deeb still has about 40,000.
