Deeb Clawing Back

Action folded around the table to late position where a middle-aged gentleman stuck in a raise to 1,700. Shaun Deeb called from the button, and Wojciech Polak came along in the big blind.

Three-handed to the flop, the dealer spread out {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. All three players checked to the {5-Clubs} 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 {J-Clubs}. 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.

"You checked to the wrong person," said Deeb with a chuckle. After a shaky start to his day, Deeb has rebounded to about 24,000.

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