Both players checked and then did the same after the {q-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Deeb Folds to Silver's Shove

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

On a {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop and about 13,000 in the pot, Freddy Deeb bet 4,000 from the big blind and Nathaniel Silver raised to 13,000 in the cutoff. Deeb called.

The {k-Diamonds} came on the turn and after Deeb checked, Silver jammed for Deeb's 30,000 effective stack.

Deeb thought about it and asked if he could rebuy, to which he was told no since it's a championship event.

After some more pondering, Deeb folded and then said, "The rebuy had nothing to do with it. I think you made the best hand."

Silver only said, "I had a good hand."
