Almond Leaves Deeb Short-Stacked
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Shaun Deeb opened to 10,000 from the hijack and Philip Almond defended his big blind.
The flop came A♦8♥A♠ and Almond check-called a 5,000 bet from Deeb.
Both players checked the J♥ turn leading to the Q♥ river. Almond led out for 5,000 and Deeb raised to 15,000. After about two minutes Almond moved all in, forcing a fold from Deeb who was left with about fifteen big blinds with the bubble drawing near.
