Shaun Deeb Eliminated in 8th Place ($88,909)

Level 22
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Limit Hold'em

Shaun Deeb won the blinds in Hold'em when he raised from the button and showed pocket tens. Yueqi Zhu and Ali Eslami won the next two pots without showdown, and Walter Chambers then raised in middle position. Deeb made it three bets, and Alexander Kostritsyn in the cutoff raised to four bets. Both blinds folded and Chambers followed suit, whereas Deeb called.

On the A65 flop, Deeb check-called and had 115,000 chips behind. Deeb checked the A turn and Kostritsyn bet again. After mulling it over briefly, Deeb sigh-called.

Shaun Deeb: 1010 All in
Alexander Kostritsyn: JJ

The river was the 8, and Deeb was eliminated in 8th place for $88,909 and vital POY points.

"Did you have an ace?" Kostritsyn asked, and Chambers replied, "Ace-eight."
