Deeb Drags a Double
Shaun Deeb opened the pot with a hijack raise, and Phil Ivey three-bet from the small blind. Deeb got the last 270,000 of his chips into the middle without delay, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Deeb: 
Ivey: 
The 
flop put Deeb two cards from the exit, and the 
turn was a blank, too. The river was not a blank. The 
dropped off the deck to save Deeb's tournament life. Ivey is forced to grant a double to drop back under a million, while Deeb crawls out of the cellar and doubles back to 570,000.
