Freddy Deeb Eliminated in 4th Place ($37,167)

Freddy Deeb was first to act and moved all in for his last 405,000. Joe Kuether was next and made the call. When Ryan Gentry folded his small blind, Chris Cronin thought for a bit and also decided to try and take a stab at eliminating the seasoned pro.

The flop was {3-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} {2-Spades} , Cronin checked and Kuether bet 300,000. That was enough to force Cronin off his hand, claiming to have had pocket fives.

Deeb: {a-Clubs} {j-Clubs}
Kuether: {a-Diamonds} {k-Clubs}

Deeb was a world of hurt but did pick up some outs to split with the {5-Spades} turn. That, of course, sent Cronin into a spin as he tried to figure out why he didn't peel a card when he was getting better than 5:1 odds to call the flop. Regardless, the {6-Spades} river officially eliminated Deeb and got us down to three-handed play.
