Shaun Deeb First to Cash at EPT Monte Carlo

LONDON, April 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Vegas-based New Yorker and tournament specialist, Shaun Deeb, is the first player to cash in the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo even though Day1B hasn't even finished! How so? He knocked out Bodog Poker Network CEO, Patrik Selin, who had put a 1,000 EUR bounty on his own head.

The hand details: The cut off player started the action with a pre-flop raised. Patrik (in Small Blind) called and Shaun (BB) re-raised. The cut off player called. Patrik (SB) re-re raised and Shaun (BB) then re-re-re raised! The cut off folded and Patrik flat called. The flop came down with K-J-J where Shaun cleverly made only a small bet which Patrik called.

The turn comes out 10 giving Patrik the straight and the inevitable all-in but not good enough to beat Shaun's Full House. Shaun Deeb doubles up to 80,000 (average 34K) and is also one thousand euro richer.

Bodog Poker Network's CEO said: "It was always a going to be a tough day sat next to Shaun and to be honest if anybody on the table was going to kick me out I wanted it to be him. I probably should have gone all-in pre-flop to try and force the fold but I won't be the first to say it this week; 'that's poker'. I wish Shaun and everybody left all the best and I will be back for more at the WPT Grand Final in Paris."
