Deeb Coolered

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 1,200 ante

The details of the hand were related to PokerNews by players at the table. A player opened to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Sami Bechahed in early position as well as a player in middle position. Action then folded around to Shaun Deeb in the small blind who moved all in for 22,000. The original raiser made the call before Bechahed re-jammed, forcing a fold from the middle position player while the under the gun player called off for their remaining chips.

Deeb and Bechahed stood pat with the under the gun player taking one after which Deeb tabled Jx10x9x8x4x. He was cut down, however, by the 7x6x4x3x2x of Bechahed while the under the gun player was also dead holding 6x5x3x2x. That handed Bechahed the double knockout and a massive pot to send his stack shooting north of the 100,000 mark.
