Deeb Can Dodge Bullets, Baby!

Brett Slezak

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jack Roser opened to 45,000 from the hijack and was called by Barak Wisbrod on the button, Andrew Pacheco in the small blind, and Shaun Deeb in the big blind to create a pot of an even 200,000 already.

On the 10♦9♠3♦ flop, the action checked to Roser who quickly put out a stack of green T-25,000 chips equal to a bet of 225,000. Wisbrod and Pacheco quickly folded before Deeb had a look at his cards, thought for ten seconds, and folded, showing the 10♣ face-up for top pair. It seems his read was correct as Roser revealed Q♦Q♣ as Deeb made the right fold while behind as he continues his hot start to the day.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth raised to 60,000 from under the gun and in the small blind, Albert Daher three-bet to 145,000. Eric Wasserson folded in the big blind and Hellmuth moved all in for 145,000.

Phil Hellmuth: 5♥5♠ All in
Albert Daher: K♦J♦

The board ran out K♣J♥8♠J♠3♥ and the jacks full of kings was good for the pot to eliminate Hellmuth from the tournament.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Jun Obara called in the big blind.

The flop rolled out Q♦8♠4♠ and Obara check-called a bet of 33,000 from Foxen.

Both players checked the turn J♦ to the river 8♦ where Obara checked over to Foxen who bet 142,000.

Obara called, then mucked when Foxen showed 9♣8♣ for three eights.

Tang Doubles First Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Stanley Tang shoved his starting stack, having just late regged, from middle position. His only caller was Martin Kabrhel from the small blind, who had "Casino Royale."

Stanley Tang: 4♠4♣ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♣J♠

Kabrhel couldn't hit, meaning Tang's two pair on the 3♥3♦9♥5♥9♦ runout was good for a double.
