"Why Did You Fold?" "'Cuz The Rest of the Table is So Bad"

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Shaun Deeb was out of position in a heads-up pot against Xuan Liu on a board of {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Deeb checked on the turn and Liu bet 7,000. Deeb called. Deeb checked again on the {8-Diamonds} river and Liu announced "all in" with Deeb covered, sending the American into a deep tank that extended several minutes. Eventually, Deeb folded to maintain his tournament life.

"Good fold," commented table mate Eric Worre.

"I don't think it was," replied Deeb.

"Then why did you fold?" questioned Liu.

"'Cuz the rest of the table is so bad," replied Deeb as he was met with a big laugh from Worre, though no one else at the table seemed to think it was funny.

"Tell us how you really feel," said Liu.
