Sven Andersson opened to 2,200 on the button and Evgeniy Tereshchenko three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind. It was folded back to Andersson, who four-bet to 15,000. Tereshschenko called.
The flop came 3♦10♥4♠ and Tereshchenko checked to Andersson, who announced a bet of 6,000. Tereshchenko quickly let his hand go and Andersson collected the pot.
Cards were on their backs and chips were in the middle, with Jakob Miegel all-in for around 54,000 and at risk versus Duco Ten Haven.
Jakob Miegel: A♥K♠
Duco ten Haven: A♦A♠
Miegel had run his ace-king straight into Ten Haven's aces and no unlikely escape was provided for him on the J♦4♣8♠8♣7♦ runout.
Ten Haven, who has had a great festival so far - taking the title in the €10,200 Mystery Bounty and following it up with fourth place in the €50,000 Super High Roller - moves towards the 200,000 mark.
Andras Nemeth opened 2,200 on the button and Arthur Conan three-bet to 4,500 in the small blind. Leo Margets was in the big blind and used a time bank before putting in a four-bet to 23,000. Nemeth snap-mucked, while Conan put the rest of the chips in the middle, and Margets called off her stack of about 48,000.
Leo Margets: J♦J♠
Arthur Conan: A♥K♥
It was an action flop as the Q♥J♥4♠ hit the felt, giving Margets a set of jacks and Conan a royal flush draw. The 10♦ fell on the turn, for Conan to improve to Broadway and Margets couldn't pair the board as the 6♠ landed on the river.
Nearly 11 months ago, the poker players agreed to a 14-month wager on Deeb's ability to bring his body fat composition down significantly. The bet had essentially no stipulations — either get to 17% body fat by the start of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), or lose $100,000.
Last month, Deeb gave his X followers an update on his progress, and it was certainly positive in his favor. A January 25 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan showed his body fat had dropped to 23.9% with still four months to go. That caused Perkins to begin proposing potential buyout possibilities on X, although nothing had been officially agreed upon.
On Friday, he went in for another DEXA scan, and he was in even better shape — 22.0% body fat composition. Then, on Saturday, the future Poker Hall of Famer informed his social media followers that Perkins had bought out of the bet for $800,000 just over three months from the start of the 2024 WSOP.
Deeb shared all the details of his journey, why he opted to accept the buyout, and where he plans to go from here. Plus, hear his thoughts on the 2024 WSOP schedule.
