Deeb Doubles Into Commanding Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
In the third hand of heads-up play, Shaun Deeb raised to 500,000 on the button. Iago Savino three-bet to 2,000,000 out of the big blind, and Deeb tossed a time bank card into the middle before double-checking his stack. He then pushed all in for 8,525,000, and Savino instantly called.
Shaun Deeb: A♠6♦ 
Iago Savino: 8♠8♥
The 9♥7♦5♦ flop gave both players a gutshot, and Deeb took the lead with the A♦ turn, the Q♦ river then secured his double with a flush to take a commanding lead in the heads-up duel. Savino, who had been dominating the final table for a long time, suddenly plummeted to only eight big blinds.
