Deeb Gets Caught with His Hand in the Cookie Jar

Adam Lamers

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Freddy Deeb raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos defended from the big blind. The flop came 7?4?2? and Mateos checked to Deeb who continued with a bet of 75,000. Mateos check-raised to 230,000 and Deeb called.

The turn brought the 9? and Mateos checked again. Deeb fired out a bet of 400,000 and Mateos stuck around to see the J? on the river. Mateos checked one more time and Deeb announced all in, putting Mateos to the test for his last 845,000 chips.

Mateos spent some time in the tank, using two of his time banks before finally calling. "Ace-high," Deeb announced as he showed A?8?. Mateos rolled over K?7? for a pair of sevens and Deeb lost the majority of his chips in the last level of the night.
