The World Poker Tour Legends of Poker – a $3,700 buy-in Main Event that attracted 786 entrants to Bicycle Casino in California – proved to be an exciting affair. Freddy Deeb, who made a name for himself in the early years of the tour, was eyeing his record-tying third WPT title, which would put him alongside Gus Hansen, Carlos Mortensen and Anthony Zinno as the only players to accomplish the feat.
Deeb showed just why he is one of the game's true legends as one by one his opponents hit the rail until he was heads-up with significant against Mike Shariati.
