Freddy Deeb was one of the unfortunate poker stars to suffer an untimely end in the WPT Bay 101 Day 1A. Shooting Star Freddy Deeb suffered an untimely end to Day 1A. He tripled up after being all-in from the big blind with A-K and up against pocket nines and K-10 suited. The board fell 8-6-2-A-J and Deeb dodged a flush draw on the river to stay in the hunt. Soon after, however, Deeb called all-in on a board showing A-Q-4-J-7 only to watch Alex Yi table K-10 for the nuts. Deeb mucked and signed over his Shooting Star shirt.

Also tripling up late was 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jerry Yang. He was all-in before the flop with cowboys and up against PokerStars pro Greg DeBora’s pocket sevens and Richard Toth’s pocket jacks. Toth had both players covered, but none of the three improved when the community cards came A-10-3-Q-8. Yang tripled up to 38,000 in chips, Toth moved to 67,000, and DeBora’s Bay 101 Shooting Star run abruptly ended. Yang ultimately busted out at the hands of Layne Flack.
