Deeb's Rollercoaster Comes to a Halt

Level 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb

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 98J.

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 Q10.

Left with just 8 big blinds, Deeb moved all in on the next hand. Aliaksandr Shylko snapped in the big blind.

Freddy Deeb: QJ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: AA

The board ran out 9QJK5, 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: AJ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: 88

The flop was promising for Deeb, coming A23. 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.

Zavorotnijs Gets All of Chidwick's Stack

Level 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs made it 20,000 from the hijack before Stephen Chidwick jammed for roughly 240,000 from the cutoff. After getting a count from the dealer, Zavorotnijs called.

Stephen Chidwick: QJ All in
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: AJ

Chidwick was dominated by Zavorotnijs heading to the J105 flop, where both players hit top pair. The K turn and 2 river didn't help Chidwick, and all of his chips were sent over to Zavorotnijs.

Song Busted by Gomez

Level 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The board read 38610J with around 130,000 in the middle.

Javier Gomez shoved from the big blind and Yunkyu Song was in the tank. After using a time bank, he made the call for the 150,000 he had in front of him. Gomez showed the 97 for the straight for Song to get up from his chair and reveal he had the A10 for a pair of tens.

Negreanu Heads to the Rebuy Desk

Level 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu encouraged the table to play quickly as the rebuy period was about to end and he was short on chips.

The table obliged as the first few players returned their cards to the dealer with haste. The hijack then raised to 22,000, and Laszlo Bujtas called on the button. Negreanu then moved all in for 93,000.

The hijack folded but Bujtas called.

Daniel Negreanu: A4 All in
Laszlo Bujtas: 66

The board ran out 5810QK, sending the pot in the direction of Bujtas.

Negreanu seemed okay with this, though, and headed off to get a fresh stack of 150,000 before the rebuy period ended.

Johan Schultz-Pedersen: AK All in
Martin Kabrhel: 33

The board ran out 3Q6K6 for Kabrhel to flop a set of treys and improve to a full house on the river to eliminate Schultz-Pedersen.
