Three-handed to the flop, the dealer spread out . All three players checked to the turn. Polak led out into the pot with a bet of 2,500, enough to fold the original raiser. Deeb wasn't so easily pacified though, thinking it over for a couple minutes before flicking in the call.
The last card off was the . Polak checked this time, and Deeb asked to see his opponent's remaining stack. Both players had around 15,000 left apiece, and Deeb fired a bet of 4,125. That was enough to win the pot outright as Polak returned his cards back to the dealer.

Table mate Dario Minieri is also on the rise; he's back up to 52,000 after a similarly rough first few levels.
