Deeb Doubles Koon and then Benefield Doubles Deeb

When we caught up to Freddy Deeb and his table, where he was mixing it up by moving all in on a {7-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} board. His opponent Jason Koon instantly called and flipped over {8-} {2-} for a straight. Deeb sheepishly showed {K-} {10-} for a pair of tens. Deeb would need an eight on the river in order to chop the pot. A {10-Clubs} river gave Deeb an irrelevent three of a kind.

After this hand Deeb was cut down to 27,000 while Koon was hovering around 315,000 in chips.

The very next hand Deeb moved all in and received a caller in one of our chip leaders David Benefield.

Deeb: {7-} {7-}
Benefield: {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

It was off to the races as the dealer spread out {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Clubs} giving Deeb a set of sevens. If he could avoid a few run run draws Deeb could double up. The {k-Diamonds} turn sealed the deal as no card could possible come to take the pot away from Deeb. A harmless {3-Diamonds} was spiked on the river and Deeb doubled up to around 54,000.
