Deeb Bluffed for Cameras
Freddy Deeb, back at the table after his one-round penalty, opened for 2,000 in mid position and then called a reraise to 5,700 from the gentleman in the cutoff.
Deeb check-called 6,200 from his opponent on the flop and another 13,200 on the turn. He checked again on the river and this time his opponent went all in for 30,300. Deeb folded, leaving himself 32,000.
"Show for the cameras?" hazarded Deeb - the ESPN folks had been crowding around the table in the latter parts of the hand. And indeed his opponent did show - for nothing more than a pair of fours.
"Good bluff," Deeb told him as the cameras departed.
