A technical glitch earlier today kept us from posting bios before the start of play. Here's a look at some background information on the most recent elimination, Freddy Deeb:
Freddy Deeb
Fourth Place: $278,300
Started Play With: 3,840,000 (1st in chips, 48 big blinds)
Freddy Deeb is one of the most recognized players in poker, and for good reason -- in addition to playing high-stakes cash games, his fourth place finish here tonight moves him up to 28th place on the all-time tournament money list, right behind Dan Harrington.
Deeb is one of several players with two WPT titles to his credit (2005 WPT Aruba and 2009 WPT Invitational), while Gus Hansen remains the only player with three.
Deeb has also had tremendous success in the World Series of Poker, with 27 cashes, 15 final tables, and 2 bracelets -- including the coveted $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. bracelet, which he won in 2007.
One last thing -- Freddy Deeb was one of the very last people to register for this tournament, halfway through Day 2. He was able to parlay that late entry into a fourth-place finish and $278,300.
