Deeb Doubles Through Shaevel

We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. There was about 45,000 in the middle, and Freddy Deeb made it 38,000 to go. Action was on Jamie Shaevel, and he counted out a raise of 100,000, and stuck it in the middle. This represented most of Deeb's remaining stack, and it didn't take him long to announce all in. Shaevel made the call, and the cards were tabled.

Deeb: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Shaevel: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Deeb held top two pair, but Shaevel could still catch an ace or a heart to win the hand. The river brought the {3-Clubs}, and Deeb let out a quick "yes" as he saw he won the pot. Shaevel is knocked down to 238,000, while Deeb doubles to 310,000.
