Deeb Eliminates Two

Deeb delivers early blow
Deeb delivers early blow
Shaun Deeb opened to 3,000 from early position, and with the action folding round to Jim Young in the cutoff, he pushed all in for his last 11,600 as did Jim Tipton and his last 1,300.

Deeb asked for a count and made the call announcing, "this is my favorite hand" and tabled his {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to be behind Young's {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Tipton's {A-Spades}{5-Spades}.

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} pretty much locked the pot for Deeb, and when the turn and river fell the {7-Hearts} and {9-Hearts} Deeb took down two opponents while climbing to over 100,000 in chips.
