Deeb Takes from Jenkins

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

John Jenkins raised and fired the flop of {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and the {K-Clubs} turn. On the {A-Diamonds} river, both players opted to check and Jenkins announced pocket jacks before turning over the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Deeb had that beat with the {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and scooped a decent pot.

Raymond Davis remarked, "How do you check the river? If you fire again, he might fold."

Deeb replied, "He would have lost 8,000 more."

Bracelet winner Saab Eliminated

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Doug Saab had clung to his short stack for a while but had to part the tournament in the first level after the dinner break. His final chips went in with an all-spade {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} hand and James Yoo looked him up with the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} to give Yoo the winner with kings and treys, and Saab was eliminated in 82nd place.

All the way back in 1997, Doug Saab won a bracelet in a $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo event, where he cashed $130,305. 21 years later, he added another cash to his lifetime winnings of $389,460.

James Pursley

Three players saw a {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop together. John Jenkins checked, James Pursley bet, Shaun Deeb called, and Jenkins called as well. On the {7-Clubs} turn, another bet from Pursley resulted in two calls again.

The river brought the {7-Spades} and Pursley bet a third time. Deeb called and Jenkins folded, leaving himself with just 20,000 behind.

James Pursley: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Shaun Deeb: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Both players had pocket aces and they chopped it up.
