Deeb Loses Some

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Three hands were face-up before the flop when we got to the table. Shaun Deeb was in middle position and had both of his opponents covered; one was in the big blind with a stack of 22,700 and the other was in the cutoff with a much shorter stack.

Shaun Deeb: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Big blind: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Cutoff: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Deeb had the preflop edge and both of his opponents needed to improve in order to survive. While Deeb retained his lead on the {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, the {Q-Hearts} on the turn put the big blind squarely ahead. The {J-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and the big blind took the pot.

Berry Stacks Whittington

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player under the gun raised to 2,500, Blake Whittington was next to act and jammed for 17,300, and Will Berry shoved over the top from the cutoff with a covering stack. After a bit of time in the tank, the original raiser folded and the two live players tabled their hands.

Blake Whittington: {A-Diamonds}{K-}
Will Berry: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Berry had the preflop edge in the race and Whittington needed help from the deck to double up. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Berry took the pot with queens full to eliminate Whittington.

Madsen Notches Another Knockout

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jeff Madsen earlier this summer

Jeff Madsen was in middle position and got stacks in before the flop against the player in the cutoff. Madsen's opponent had about 15,000 to start the hand and Madsen had him covered by a fair margin.

Jeff Madsen: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The cutoff found himself trailing Madsen's kings and needed a lot of help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Madsen took the pot to earn what looked like his fifth bounty of the day.
