Half Man, Half Amazing: Freddy Deeb Wins 2007 WSOP $50K H.O.R.S.E. Event

Ad Rock once said, "I see you lookin' at me sayin'/How can he be so skinny and live *so phat?"

If Freddy Deeb (artist rendition at right) were a rapper like Prahlad "They shoulda practiced avoidance" Friedman (thankfully he's not), he might be "spitting" this lyrics today, "I see you lookin' at me sayin'/How can he be so little and play *so big?"

What we are clunky-ly getting at here is that Freddy Deeb is short, but he has HUGE game.

Deeb took down the prestigious $50k H.O.R.S.E. event, banking a whopping $2,276,832 for the win. He defeated Bruno Fitoussi ($1,278,720) for the win.

The chip leader going into final table play, Amnon Filippi, finished fourth ($586,080). David Singer ($337,440) placed sixth for the second straight year. Barry Greenstein ($259,296) was seventh, Thor Hansen ($188,256) was eighth, and Gabe Kaplan ($131,424) placed ninth.
