Deeb Versus Oxman for $500 on Second Last Hand of the Night
Big O
The best side story in Day 1 came to a head on the second last hand of the night as Ari Oxman was all-in versus the man he made the prop bet with, Shaun Deeb, who had the opportunity to eliminate his nemesis and save his $500.
Oxman's last 14,000 chips went in on the 
flop with 19,000 more in the middle. Oxman's tournament life and the $500 bet was at risk.
Ari Oxman: 
Shaun Deeb: 
Deeb held top two pair, while Oxman held open-ended straight and flush draws, and with only one low card on the flop, a scoop was likely.
The turn brought the 
to give Oxman Broadway and the lead, then the 
on the river sealed his survival for the night.
Deeb would actually be at risk on the final hand of the night, but survive with a chop, and he then graciously passed $500 to Oxman before they each bagged up for the night.
