Shaun Deeb Wins 7th WSOP Bracelet

Shaun Deeb wins World Series of Poker Event #79: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $2,957,229 and his seventh WSOP bracelet after beating Isaac Haxton in a heads-up battle. Shaun Deeb came on top of the field of 121 entries, which generated a prize pool of $11,676,500.

This win is also Deeb’s most significant live tournament score, beating his previous best of $1,402,683, which came after he won WSOP $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha – High Roller in 2018. This latest win also puts his all-time earnings over $16.5 million and catapults him into the top 100 in Hendon Mob’s all-time money list.

“Yeah, I mean, anyone could have won that tournament with the run of cards I had on all ends, you know. I ran so above CHIP EV in every all-in. I really just won, so … there wasn’t much skill. I played really well pre-flop , I got outplayed post flop I am sure, but that’s kind of I knew what was going to happen. I know how to reduce better players’ edge. Versus Ike, you know, I was ready to go wild pre-flop and that’s why I think he limp-called the kings because he just kind of knew that I’m willing to do that,” said Deeb to PokerNews after the win.

“It’s everything you hope for coming out here. God, this is the best one, I am probably going to play all summer to win. I appreciate all the staff here, I know everyone here there’s a lot of difficulty with so many players. So the World Series does a great job, as much shit as they get publicly. People got to realize just how hard it is to do what they do, and I appreciate all the staff,” Deeb also added.

Lautaro Guerra shoved on 10K4 flop with dead money in the middle that was more than his remaining stack, and Haxton called. Guerra had AA65 and was ahead of Haxton’s QJJ8. The turn came 6, additionally improving Guerra’s chances of survival, but A on the river was a lucky card for Haxton, and Guerra was eliminated in fourth place for $976,082.

Arthur Morris was all-in from SB with A922, and Shaun Deeb called in BB with K1095 covering Morris. The dealer rolled Q107QJ and Deeb managed to hit the pair of tens and dodge the flush draw to eliminate Morris in third place for $1,368,994.

The Heads-Up

Coming into the heads-up battle for the title, Haxton had the chip lead, but Deeb had enough chips to make it a fair battle. After around half an hour of the battle, Haxton limped from BTN, Deeb raised, and Haxton called. The flop came J42, Deeb checked, Haxton bet, Deeb raised, putting Haxton into the tank.

Haxton then put all the remaining chips into the middle, and Deeb called. Cards were turned and Haxton had KKJ7 against Deeb’s QQ106. The turn came 10, which didn’t change much, and Haxton was still ahead, but the J on the river gave Deeb the flush, and Haxton was eliminated in second place for $1,972,860.
