Big Stax 500 (Day 2): Deeter Doubles On Bubble

Level 19 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 775
Players Remaining: 75

Trevor Deeter (Philadelphia, PA)

Players are close to going on break, and also close to reaching the money in the second trophy event of the series.  Trevor Deeter just opened a pot at Table 47 after action folded to him on the button (raised to 25,000).  Joe Black shoved for 195,000 from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Deeter made the call (Black at risk):

Deeter: 7♦ 7♣
Black: A♠ Q♠

Runout: 6♠ 6♥ 6♦ J♥ 2♠

Deeter's pocket pair would hold up, and he would chip up to 430,000, only four spots from the money.  One notable that will not be cashing this event is Alex Rocha (Brigantine, NJ), as he loses two critical pots to bust.

Players are going on break as we type, and they will return to Level 20 and blinds of 6,000/12,000/200.
