Deeb Dusted in Two Hands
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau made a pot-sized raise to 175,000 in the cutoff. Shaun Deeb defended his big blind and led out for 425,000 on the 7♣Q♠6♦ flop. Lau quickly moved all in for 790,000, and Deeb called with the covering stack.
Ka Kwan Lau: A♦A♣K♥4♥ 
Shaun Deeb: J♠8♠7♠5♥
Lau's aces held on the K♣10♠ runout, doubling him up and leaving Deeb with four big blinds.
Deeb committed his remaining 205,000 on the next deal from the small blind, with Frederic Normand calling in the big blind.
Shaun Deeb: Q♠10♥6♠6♦
Frederic Normand: A♥K♦9♠6♥
Normand made trips on the Q♦A♦8♣A♠ turn, leaving Deeb with one out. The 3♠ river did not bring the last remaining six, eliminating Deeb from the tournament.
