Maddocks Knocks Out Deeb
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Maddocks three-bet preflop to 5,500 and the player under the gun called, as did Shaun Deeb in the cutoff.
The flop came J♦9♥5♥. Under the gun checked and Deeb bet the pot, which was 19,000. Maddocks called and under the gun folded. Before the dealer dealt the turn, Deeb asked Maddocks if there is any chance he will fold. "It depends on what comes on the turn,“ replied Maddocks.
The turn was the 7♠ and Deeb went all in, which Maddocks quickly called.
Shaun Deeb: K♦10♦8♥2♥
Michael Maddocks: Q♥J♥10♣8♣
Both players turned the nut straight and had a flush draw to go with it, but Maddocks‘s draw was better.
The river came a K♠, which completed Maddocks less obvious draw to a better straight, nine-to-king, and Deeb was eliminated.
