Level 1 Update -- Freddy Deeb Accidentally Takes Chip LeadOct 02, '09 Blinds: 50-100 Average Chip Count: 30,000 Notable Eliminations: None Hand of the Level:
Freddy Deeb has doubled up early on in this tournament, but not in a conventional way. Apparently, Deeb called a preflop raise of 300 from his opponent and the two players saw a flop of 7-4-3. His opponent continued with a bet of 1,000, only to see Deeb raised that bet to 3,000, or so he thought. Deeb accidently raised it to 15,000, picking up the wrong chips. To top things off, his opponent called the raise himself, thinking that it was only for 3,000. All of the money went in when a deuce hit the turn and Deeb had his opponent drawing dead with A-5 for the wheel, while the unlucky fellow across the table showed A-7. Must be nice.
