"And You Feel Like a Man Now?"

No-Limit Hold'em

Antony Lellouche opened for 1,300 and cleared the field all the way around to Shaun Deeb on the button. He made the call, as did Owais Ahmed and Anton Allemann in the blinds, and it was four-handed to the {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop.

Ahmed quickly checked, but Allemann wasn't so quick to act. He took his time before betting 3,800, Lellouche folded, and Deeb made the call. After Ahmed got out of the way, the dealer burned and turned the {K-Spades}. Allemann slowed down with a check, opening the door for Deeb to bet 6,100. Allemann laid down his hand and Deeb proudly rolled over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

"And you feel like a man now?" Allemann asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I had the best hand," Deeb replied with a smile.

Allemann dropped to 61,000 after the hand, which means he must have lost a considerably bigger pot prior to tangling with Deeb.
