Deeb Almost Doubles

A short-stacked Freddy Deeb just gave himself a little extra breathing room after taking down a recent pot against an unknown opponent. Deeb made it 400 to go from early position and was called by the button. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {2-Spades} and Deeb tossed a single blue 1,000 chip into the middle; his opponent called.

The last card to fall was the {Q-Diamonds} and both players knuckled the table. At the showdown, Freddy tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} which was good enough to take down the pot. He now has just over 9,000 in chips.
