Deeb with the Needles
Shaun Deeb had a three bet to 400,000 cut out in front of him preflop with less than half that behind. Benjamin Horgan went all in two seats to his left. Deeb took his time as "Payout!" could be heard scattered around the room. After a few more moments, Deeb made the call.
Shaun Deeb: J♠9♠ 
Benjamin Horgan: Q♠J♦
Horgan was in the lead when hands were tabled, but Deeb needled him, saying, "You don't want to give me chips," implying Horgan shouldn't have put himself in this position.
The flop was clean for Horgan as it rolled A♠2♦4♦. Eyes raised when the 5♠ came and the river made Deeb's flush with the 4♠. Deeb went on to tell Horgan that it wasn't strategically sound to put the more than half a million chips at risk.
Horgan tried to shake off the situation saying, "I'm just going to play my game."
