In a preflop all-in situation, defending 2018 WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb was holding the up against the
of Kenny Hallaert.
Deeb's tournament life was at risk with his remaining 23,500 in the middle.
The flop was bad news for Deeb as it gave Hallaert top set. Deeb jokingly turned his cards face down acknowledging his very slim hopes of survival.
But the turn provided a glimmer when it came the and the
on the river completed the wheel to keep Deeb's hopes rolling along in the 5k event.
