Deeb Dented, Matthews Moves Up

After a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Rory Matthews and Shaun Deeb both checked, then Sean Keeton bet 37,000 from the button. Matthews check-raised to 165,000. Shaun Deeb then reraised all in for his big stack of 600,000-plus. Keeton folded, but Matthews made the call, putting himself all in for a total of 362,000.

Deeb had {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for tens, but Matthews had {6-Spades}{5-Hearts} for bottom two pair. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river the {J-Spades}, and Matthews is now up to 780,000. Deeb tumbles to 295,000.
