Deeb Charging

Francois Tosques raised from under the gun to 13,000, and it folded to Freddy Deeb in the cutoff. Deeb three bet it to 50,000, and Tosques thought for about 20 seconds before calling.

The dealer fanned out a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The turn was the {q-Hearts}, and Tosques checked to Deeb, who fired out 60,000. Tosques came along, and the river brought the {5-Clubs}. Tosques checked again, and Deeb assembled a big bet of 110,000, and slid it into the middle Tosques went deep into the tank, thinking for about three minutes. He assembled the call, confirmed the bet was 110,000, and slid it in.

Deeb announced aces, and turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Tosques mucked his hand, and Deeb took the massive pot to get up to almost 600,000, doubling his starting stack coming into today.
