Deeb Snaps Off Opponent on River

Action picked up with six-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb on the button and involved in a hand against two opponents, one in the big blind and the other in the cutoff.

The flop showed 8♠7♠2♥ and both of Deeb’s opponents checked. Deeb responded by betting 1,100, which drew a call from the player in the big blind. The player in the cutoff folded.

The dealer placed Q♦ on the turn, and Deeb and his opponent checked.

The A♦ showed up on the river and the player in the big blind led out with 2,500, which Deeb immediately called.

The player in the big blind tabled 8♥5♦, but his pair of eights were not good once Deeb tabled 10♠10♣.
