One Deeb Down, One to Go

Level 17

Freddy Deeb opened to 6,000 from late position, and Scott Bohlman reraised to 19,000 from the big blind. Deeb called, and the flop came {4-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {A-Hearts} . Bohlman led out with a pot-sized bet of 39,000, and that sent Deeb deep into the tank. He started talking to himself. "Well, I went with this hand and I flopped it..." he began, trailing off. He counted down his stack, and he only had 38,200 left. After another moment, he said, "Well, I hope you don't have a set," and he announced the call.

"Aces," Bohlman said, rolling over {a-Diamonds} {a-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} for top set. It was just as Deeb feared, and he tabled {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Spades} for the underset.

"I'll give you a ride home," Lyle Berman said, now standing adjacent to Deeb sweating this final hand.

"Not if I catch a four," Deeb answered with a grin. The turn and river were the {9-Diamonds} and {9-Clubs} , though, and there's no quads and no more chips for Deeb.
