Shaun Deeb Takes the Lead

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

On Hand #13 of the final table, Shaun Deeb opened for 320,000 and Ben Yu called out of the small blind. Scotty Nguyen came along from the big and three players went to the flop, which came down {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Two checks saw Deeb continue for 450,000 and only Yu called to see the {A-Diamonds} turn.

Yu checked for the second time and Deeb bet 1.25 million. That did the trick as Yu released. As a result of that hand, Deeb leapfrogged Yu atop the counts.
