Should Have Slept Another Five Minutes

Jose Passos just joined his table a few minutes ago, and we'd be willing to bet he wishes he'd overslept just a few minutes longer. In early position, Passos limped into the pot, and Andrea Sapere called from the small blind. In the big, Shaun Deeb made a raise to 3,800, and only Passos called this time.

Heads up now, the flop brought {9-Hearts}

. Deeb kept the heat on with a continuation bet of 5,800, and Passos called after a moment. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}

, and Deeb wasn't slowing down now. When he bet 9,600, Passos moved all in for about 34,000 total, and Deeb instantly called with the covering stack.

Deeb tabled {A-Spades}

, and it was clear that he was ahead by the way Passos sighed and slumped in his chair. He sheepishly tabled {A-Diamonds}

, drawing slim for his survival. The {5-Hearts}

came on the river, and it was no use to Passos; he's been eliminated.

Deeb, on the other hand, has nearly doubled up since the start of play. He's up close to 110,000 now.
