Deeb Takes The Lead

Shaun Deeb min-raised to 240,000 from the cutoff and was called by James Calderaro on the button and David Benyamine in the big blind. On the flop, action checked to Calderaro and he bet 505,000. Benyamine released his cards into the muck and Deeb called after some consideration.

Both checked the turn and the fell on the river. Deeb checked and faced a bet worth 900,000 by Calderaro. Again Deeb took just a short time and called to get shown by Calderaro, which he had beat with . That hand vaulted Deeb into a narrow lead over Calderaro, while Benyamine remains as the shortest stack of the final seven.
