Deeb Rockets Into the Chip Lead, Gavrila's Stack Trending Down
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Paco Kaplan opened on the cutoff to 250,000 and Viorel Gavrila shoved his monster stack into the middle from the button. Shaun Deeb was in the big blind and put in his stack of 2,215,000, and Kaplan folded.
Shaun Deeb: A♣A♦ 
Viorel Gavrila: A♠10♥
Deeb's chances to win the hand went from high to almost certain on the 10♣A♥4♠ flop as he flopped top set. Somehow, Gavrila did have an out to win by the time the 10♠ turn hit the baize as a ten on the river would give him quads. The miracle card didn't come, as the 2♥ filled out the board, which saw Deeb jump into the chip lead.
