Dourado Picks Off Deeb to Take Chip Lead
Level 34
2-7 Triple Draw
Aloisio Dourado raised on the button and Shaun Deeb called in the big blind and took two, while Dourado took one.
Dourado fired out another bet and Deeb called, taking two once more. Dourado stood pat and bet again on the second draw.
Deeb, starring over at Dourado from beneath the brim of his black sparkling hat, then raised and Dourado called. Both players stood pat and Deeb bet again.
Dourado looked up at the ceiling as he tanked for about a minute before sliding in a tower of chips to call. Deeb turned over a 10-6, but Dourado had 8x7x6x3x2x to win the pot.
"Vamos," his Brazilian supporters yelled from the rail as Dourado began pumping his fist in the air.
