Shaun Deeb's Turn?

At the time of this post, Shaun Deeb is chip leader of Event #29 with 10 players left. The $2500 10 Game Six Max Event is currently on dinner break, and Deeb is in the pole position with 635,000 chips.

Following his tweets, you'd be hard pressed to think that Deeb is confident about taking this one down. He's had a yo yo stack the past couple of levels, but alas he's currently at the top of the mountain.

Deeb's live earnings are around $550,000 but he's been crushing the online world the past couple of years, including over $3,500,000 in cashes on Pokerstars alone. With the current landscape of online poker in the US, this may just be the year that Deeb makes his mark at the land-based events. He's got a legitimate shot at taking this event down, and hopefully he can bring home the bracelet.

This cash will be Deeb's fifth cash of the 2011 WSOP. He's got about $33,000 in cashes so far. The winner of Event #29 will take home roughly $250,000.

Good luck to Shaun on grabbing his first bracelet.
