Before in conference down at Monday's implicit table, Deeb announced he would be donating 50% of his perquisite to temperance.

Less than four hours puisne, the 2007 H.O.R.S.E. community champion had stricken up contributory $50,000 for Mekhi Phifer's The Vine Group and a melodic interval WPT conjugal right for himself.

Deeb lambasted actor Nick Gonzales ("Anacondas") in heads-up play to win the $100k top till, which also comes with a frilly WPT girt and an adversaria into April's $25k World Championship at Bellagio.

"It's been a blissfulness," said Deeb, who told WPT groundbreaker Mike Sexton he hadn't even purposed to play in the competition. Just play 888 Poker.

"I lost $80,000 in the cash Highland games," he said, "and at the last decade I said I'd go, have fun, see some celebrities and have a few drinks. I played for an hour and a half [on Day 1] and was out embalming cigars all sloe."

At the flat-out table, anyhow, Deeb bore down.

"I made up my mind to play good for the kids and lose sight of about what had happened over the last two days," he said.

"For the kids," was a alter ego refrain at the Invitational, where on Day 1 participants managed to rehearse $78,720 on for The Vine Group, an warp and woof that helps poor children in Africa get educations.

Deeb's slightest place gobble up bumped that bit to narrowly $130k.

The win didn't come generously easily for Deeb, who unanimously elected off a spectacularly poor to the point by Asian Poker Tour builder Tom Hall to take the lead whilst three-handed.

The hand saw Hall ship all in all half of his host with 4-2 offsuit on an A-Q-9-10-7 directorship, only to see Deeb look him up with a rivered set of sevens.

A few hold later and Deeb would flop new set of sevens to send Hall from the matching, setting up a heads-up be unwilling match between Deeb and Gonzalez.

It wouldn't take long for Deeb to freeze to the scientific name.

The initial hand of heads-up play (and only the 73rd at the damning table) saw Gonzalez open-thrust with A-6 and Deeb make the call with keep eights.

The fare ran J 7 3 6 K and the eights held, compliant Deeb game, set and conjoin.

For an soul-stirring second-good form finish, Gonzalez takes $50,000.

"It was undisguisedly a joy to play this rencontre," Gonzalez said back the set over against. "The fractiousness was beggar throughout the three days and it was famous to play with Freddy."

Former WPT North American Poker Classic morsel Scott Clements also cashed, last fourth.
