Backdoor Wheel Saves Deeb
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
In a preflop all-in situation, defending 2018 WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb was holding the 
up against the 
of Kenny Hallaert.
Deeb's tournament life was at risk with his remaining 23,500 in the middle.
The 
flop was bad news for Deeb as it gave Hallaert top set. Deeb jokingly turned his cards face down acknowledging his very slim hopes of survival.
But the turn provided a glimmer when it came the 
and the 
on the river completed the wheel to keep Deeb's hopes rolling along in the 5k event.
