We picked the action up on the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

flop, with John Tabatabai putting out an unusual minimum bet of 300. Deeb bumped it up to 1,725 and Tabatabai called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and Tabatabai again tossed out 300. Deeb, clearly not messing around, raised to 4,200 and after a moment of thought, Tabatabai announced all in.

Deeb called instantaneously and turned over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

for the nut straight while Tabatabai showed {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

for two pair. The river was the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Deeb doubled to 27,000 in chips while last year's WSOP-E Main Event runner-up was left with 15,600.
