Deeb With a Huge Double to Leave Morris on Fumes
Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Shaun Deeb opened the button before Arthur Morris three-bet to 3,900,000 from the big blind. Deeb four-bet to 12,000,000, which put Morris in the tank. After using a few time extensions, Morris just called to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out a flop of A♥4♠Q♠ and Morris jammed for Deeb's remaining 2,400,000. Deeb quickly called.
Shaun Deeb: A♣K♣10♦6♦ 
Arthur Morris: A♦J♦10♥5♠
Both had a top pair, but Deeb was ahead with the better kicker. Morris had only slightly more chips than Deeb and would be left with crumbs if he were to lose this hand.
The 9♠ turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 4♣ river. Deeb scored a huge double-up, while Morris had less than three big blinds.
