Deeb Said Knock Yu Out
Shaun Deeb walked over to Ben Yu's table and was encouraging the other table to knock Yu out.
"Who?" someone asked.
"My nemesis," answered Deeb with his hands on Yu's shoulders.
After some discussion about Yu, Deeb, and Chan were joking about where each would finish.
"I'll take third," said Yu.
"If I'm three handed with you two, I'm just going to leave the table and claim collusion," said Deeb, "that's my only shot."
"What was your first bracelet Ben?" asked Deeb.
Yu held his arms up, "this is the Ben Yu Invitational."
Yu's first bracelet was in this event two years ago. The defending Champion, Ian Johns is sitting at the same table as Chan and Yu.
"This year it's the Ian Johns Invitational," said Chan.
"Ian doesn't care about attention so they don't name things after him," replied Yu.
Deeb and Yu finished first and second in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw just before joining this tournament yesterday. Yu defeated Deeb heads-up to win his second WSOP bracelet.
