Big pots are definitely the rule here in Level 1 of this super-deep-stacked tournament. Shaun Deeb came up on the short end of one of those pots at Table 3. On a flop of {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

, Deeb and one other player checked to the button, who bet 2,050. Deeb and the other player both called to the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

turn, which brought a bet of 5,600 from Deeb. Only the button called.

The river paired the board {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. Deeb checked to his opponent, who tanked for about a minute and a half before checking behind. Deeb apparently had given up on making a further move with {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

; it was no good against the button's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

. As a result a pot worth more than 20,000 chips slid away from Deeb to his opponent.
