Deeb's Rollercoaster Comes to a Halt
Play has only just kicked off, and in the first four hands of the day, Freddy Deeb was amongst the action in all four of them, being all-in and at risk in three of them!
The first hand of the day saw a button open to 22,000, which Deeb responded to by moving all in from the small blind. His opponent folded, and Deeb took the pot.
The very next hand, Deeb raised to 25,000 from the button. Anatoly Nikitin called in the big blind, and the pair saw a flop of 9♦8♦J♥.
The flop checked around, and Nikitin led out on the 6♠ turn for 35,000. Deeb called. Nikitin led out again on the 3♥ for 80,000. Deeb called again but was shown the bad news: Nikitin had flopped the nuts with Q♥10♠.
Left with just 8 big blinds, Deeb moved all in on the next hand. Aliaksandr Shylko snapped in the big blind.
Freddy Deeb: Q♣J♥ 
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♠A♣
The board ran out 9♠Q♥J♠K♠5♥, giving Deeb the unexpected double up.
Time for a breather? No.
The very next hand, Deeb moved all in again. This time, Nikitin only called.
Freddy Deeb: A♠J♣
Anatoly Nikitin: 8♦8♠
The flop was promising for Deeb, coming A♥2♣3♦. The turn looked good to, the 4♦.
Deeb called for a five, for a split pot, but it was worse. The river 8♥ awarded his opponent the pot.
A rollercoaster to start the day and Deeb headed to the exit.
