Vartughian Chops Twice; Deeb Chips Up
Level 20
: 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Shaun Deeb won a three-way pot against Robert Mizrachi and Owais Ahmed when the former bet the 
turn to force a fold from Ahmed and receive a check-call from Deeb. They checked the 
river and Deeb tabled 
for a full house.
Short stack Ed Vartughian then ended up all in twice, once against Ken Aldridge and the second time against David Benyamine.
In the first hand, Vartughian got it in with 
for a flopped straight on 
. Aldridge had 
and the 
turn and 
river run out ensured the split pot.
Up next Benyamine held 
against Vartughian's 
and the 
board resulted in a split pot again.
"All this for one chip. My friend keeps telling me all I need is a chip and two chairs," Benyamine joked.
