The first poker player who comes to mind at the mention of \u201cdouble bagging\u201d is\u00a0Mike Leah<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Leah bagged chips in two WSOP<\/strong> tournaments on the same day each of the last two years. And as good as Leah is at multi-tabling live events, even he has failed to double-bag chips in multiple events coming back to play on Day 3.<\/p>\n We hadn\u2019t found evidence that anyone accomplishing this feat \u2026 until now.\u00a0Shaun Deeb\u00a0went deep in two tournaments at the same time this week and just missed out on an opportunity to play two final tables on the same day. Winning more than one bracelet during the WSOP is a remarkable feat on its own. Winning two in one day would be next to impossible.<\/p>\n Poker as a profession is all about grinding today I embark on a opportunity that no player has had before to go for simultaneously Bracelets today can define an already amazing career and so happy to have this chance and hope to run as good today as I did yesterday<\/p>\n \u2014 WSOPShaunDeeb (@shaundeeb) June 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Deeb was three-handed in\u00a0Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw<\/strong> and one of 18 players left in Event #13: $1,500 Big Blind Antes No-Limit Hold\u2019em <\/strong>when action started at the Rio on Thursday.<\/p>\n On Day 2 of both events, Deeb had to run between the Amazon\u00a0Room<\/strong> and\u00a0Brasilia\u00a0Room<\/strong> to play in both tournaments.<\/p>\n Knowing he was coming back to Day 3 in both, he asked if it was possible to position the two events near each other. The tournament staff accommodated him by moving one of the tables from the secondary feature table so Deeb wouldn\u2019t have to run through the crowds to play a hand.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Deeb, history was not in the cards this day. He was eliminated in third place in the 2-7 lowball for $36,330 and in 16th place in the big blind ante event for another $11,533.<\/p>\n It might come as no surprise that Deeb running deep in simultaneous events came with some controversy.<\/p>\n Deeb is known as a being a deliberate slow roller. It is seen as bad etiquette by most players and has not endeared Deeb to much of the poker community.<\/p>\n Daniel Ospina<\/strong>, the eventual winner of the 2-7 lowball event, apparently has some history with Deeb and there is no love lost between the tw.<\/p>\n Ospina had this to say in an interview with\u00a0PokerNews<\/a>:<\/p>\n Deeb has a reputation for slow-rolling people in the past and I have a bit of history with him in some other events we\u2019ve played. I decided last night if the opportunity presented itself to slow roll him, I was definitely going to do it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And the opportunity came for Ospina. Just a few hands into three-handed play, Ospina busted him in third place and slowly sent Deeb to rail.<\/p>\n Amusingly enough, Deeb was planning to slow roll Ospina before he got slow rolled.<\/p>\n Just got slowrolled to bust nld 3rd almost slowrolled him first assuming I was always good but I didn\u2019t and got punished<\/p>\n \u2014 WSOPShaunDeeb (@shaundeeb) June 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Deeb understands his reputation comes with an obvious target on his back and he can certainly handle a slow roll.<\/p>\n His issue is when someone intentionally stalls play in order to reduce his equity in the other tournament.<\/p>\n Slowrolled whatever stallig while I\u2019m multitasking to burn equity of mine in a diff tourney is just shady as fuck knew he was a douche and glad others had same read that i talked to https:\/\/t.co\/qIw1CAgglK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 WSOPShaunDeeb (@shaundeeb) June 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It might have been the plan all along @shaundeeb<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Vx9HCh814d<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Tim Marsters (@TurnRiva) June 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The complaint was seen as hypocritical by many.<\/p>\n Don’t dish it if you can’t take it. Don’t play two tournaments at once if you can’t handle two. Don’t say you “know” someone is a douche because someone else “had the same read”<\/p>\n \u2014 Ian Steinman (@IanSteinman) June 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n But there were just as many coming to his defense. There is a big difference between slow rolling and intentionally stalling to put Deeb at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n It is so tilting that you and many others fail to grasp that ‘slowrolling’ (douchey thing deeb does\/whatever)<\/p>\n is entirely separate act from ‘intentionally playing slow\/stalling to exploit the player multitabling.@shaundeeb<\/a> may be a dick, but does not make him hypocritical. https:\/\/t.co\/rRtaCtcMRB<\/a><\/p>\n
