Smith Takes From Deeb

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The board read {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades} and there was already around 45,000 in the middle. John Smith had bet 15,100 from the hijack and Shaun Deeb was up for the decision. After considering all his options, Deeb called.

The {k-} completed the board and both Smith and Deeb checked. Smith showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the flopped pair of eights and that was enough to get Deeb to muck his hand.
