Don't Try This at Home

A player in the cutoff seat came into the pot with a limp to start the action, and Shaun Deeb followed suit from the button. In the small blind, Thomas Bichon raised to 4,200, and the table let him take the pot.

On the next hand, Deeb came in with a cutoff raise to 2,000. Bichon grabbed chips again, and he stuck in a re-raise to 5,700. The big blind hemmed and hawed and eventually folded, but Deeb was going nowhere. He stuck out his stacks of red and yellow chips with a covering re-re-raise, and Bichon instantly mucked. Deeb opened up his {3-Spades} {4-Spades} as he recouped his losses from the last hand. And then some.

After a midday slide, Deeb is back up close to 70,000.
