Deeb Trouble For Stumpf

Connor Richards

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Shaun Deeb opened to 900 in middle position and Matthew Stumpf three-bet to 3,000 in the hijack. Deeb called.

Deeb checked on the 8♦6♥Q♠ flop and Stumpf continued for 2,500. Deeb called. Deeb checked again on the 10♣ turn and Stumpf sized up to 11,000. Deeb again called.

Deeb checked once more on the 5♥ river and Stumpf fired a third barrel of 25,000. Deeb called after some deliberation.

Stumpf could only show king-high with K♦J♦ and Deeb showed the winner with Q♣J♣ for a pair of queens.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Nazar Buhaiov opened to 1,200 in early position and the button called before Nolan King three-bet to 4,200 in the small blind. Jean-Pierre van der Spuy cold-called in the big blind and both other players called.

King continued for 7,500 on the flop of 2♣5♥10♠ and only Van der Spuy called. King then bet all in with a stack of 49,000 on the Q♥ turn and Van der Spuy called off with a stack of 37,500.

"I need to hit something," said King.

"So do I," replied van der Spuy.

Jean-Pierre van der Spuy: A♥4♥
Nolan King: K♠9♠

Neither player had a pair and Van der Spuy was ahead with ace-high to be in front of King's king-high before the A♠ river improved him to a pair of aces for a double.

"Us two guys all in on the turn and neither of us have jack shit," laughed Van der Spuy. "I love poker!"

"I hate poker," replied King.
