Deeb Gets a Fold

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Shaun Deeb opened for 8,500 from under the gun and was called a player in middle position, Brian Meinders on the button and another player in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and both the player in the big and Deeb checked to the player in middle position, who fired 16,500 into the middle. It was folded back to Deeb, who called.

Both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn, however, when the {J-Hearts} completed the board, Deeb fired a hefty 44,000 into the middle. His opponent fell deep into the tank and after about three minutes, had the clock called on him by another tablemate. A floorman came by and gave him a minute to act on his hand. He eventually folded with about five seconds to go and Deeb scooped the pot.
